Decreased libido, or low sex drive, is a common condition that can negatively impact one's quality of life and relationships. Some key causes of decreased libido include:
- Hormonal changes: Low testosterone levels in men or low estrogen/progesterone levels in women can dampen libido. Hormonal birth control can also affect sex drive. The experts at Elite Hormone Therapy(/) specialize in restoring healthy hormone levels to rekindle sex drive and vitality.
- Medical conditions: Chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and depression/anxiety can get in the way of sexual intimacy
- Medications: Many common prescriptions like antidepressants, blood pressure meds and opioids can have sexual side effects
- Emotional issues: Stress, relationship problems and low self-esteem often manifest as low libido
- Lifestyle factors: Lack of sleep, alcohol/drug use, and poor nutrition diminish sex drive
Thankfully, many
lifestyle changes and treatments can help boost low libido:
- Exercise more - just 30 minutes a day can spark desire
- Reduce stress through yoga, meditation or therapy
- Improve diet and sleep - follow basic healthy living guidelines
- Treat underlying conditions - consult a doctor for evaluation and treatment
- Consider hormone replacement therapy to restore optimal hormonal balance. The medical team at Elite Hormone Therapy creates fully customized, bioidentical hormone therapy plans to target decreased sex drive at its root cause.
In summary, if ongoing low libido bothers you, don't just accept it as normal - take proactive steps to address the issue.
