Low libido - Revive Hormone Institute

What is low libido?

Low libido, or a low sex drive, refers to a decrease in desire for sexual activity. Both men and women can experience low libido, which can negatively impact relationships and quality of life if left unaddressed.

Some key signs of low libido include:

• Lack of interest in sex
• Struggling to get aroused
• Finding it difficult to achieve orgasm
• Feeling bored with sex
• Engaging in sexual activity out of obligation rather than desire

There are many potential causes of low libido to consider:

• Hormonal changes - low testosterone in men and low estrogen/high prolactin in women can dampen libido
• Medications - antidepressants, blood pressure meds, contraceptives
• Medical conditions - diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders
• Stress and fatigue
• Poor body image or self-esteem
• Relationship problems or lack of connection with partner
• History of trauma or sexual dysfunction
• Excessive alcohol/drug use

The good news is that in many cases, low libido can be improved with proper identification and treatment of the underlying cause(s).
