Low libido

What is low libido?

Low libido, or a decreased sex drive, refers to a lack of interest in sexual activity that causes personal or relationship distress. It is very common, affecting up to 1 in 3 adults at some point.

There are many potential causes of low libido. These include:

• Hormonal changes - Low testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone can negatively impact sex drive. This is especially common during perimenopause, postpartum, and andropause.
• Medical conditions - Chronic illness, medications, inflammation, and stress can suppress libido. Diabetes, depression, high blood pressure, and thyroid disorders often contribute.
• Psychological factors - Trauma, poor body image, anxiety, and relationship problems can also decrease sexual desire.
• Lifestyle habits - Lack of sleep, poor diet, excess alcohol, and insufficient exercise play a role for some people.

The good news is low libido can often be improved with lifestyle changes and medical treatment if needed. Open communication with your healthcare provider is key.

Some lifestyle tips to boost low libido naturally include:

• Reducing stress through meditation, yoga, or spending more time on hobbies
• Following a nutritious anti-inflammatory diet
• Exercising more frequently
• Setting aside quality time for your partner
• Practicing positive body image
