Low libido

What is low libido?

Low libido, or a decreased sex drive, is when someone experiences a lower interest in sexual activity than usual. This can negatively impact relationships and one's quality of life. Common causes include:

• Hormonal changes - Low testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone levels can dampen sex drive. Perimenopause, postpartum periods, and thyroid issues may contribute.


• Medical conditions - Diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, endometriosis, arthritis and cancer treatments like chemotherapy often affect libido.


• Medications - Many prescription drugs have lowered desire as a side effect. Birth control, antidepressants and blood pressure meds are common culprits.


• Fatigue and stress - Being overworked, sleep deprived, or facing trauma/grief can sap one's energy for sex.

Low libido symptoms vary but may include:

• Lack of interest in sex


• Trouble getting/staying aroused


• Less fantasizing and initiation of intimacy


• Genital numbness and dryness (women)


• Erectile dysfunction (men)

If ongoing, low sex drive can negatively impact self-esteem, relationships, and overall wellbeing. For many, a satisfying sex life is important for feeling close to romantic partners.
