Low libido, or a decreased sex drive, is when a person has a lower interest in sexual activity than is considered average. It's important to understand that having fluctuations in your libido is normal, but low libido can become a concern if it persists over time and causes distress. Some key things to know about low libido:
- It can affect anyone, but is more common in women. Up to 40% of women experience low libido at some point.
- There are many potential causes, like hormonal changes, health conditions, medications, stress, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, or history of trauma. Imbalanced hormones like low testosterone or high prolactin often play a role.
- Low libido can strain a relationship. Open communication is important for both partners to share their feelings and find solutions.
- Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Lifestyle changes like exercise, stress management, counseling, or boosting intimacy/romance may help. Hormone therapy, like testosterone or estrogen, may be recommended.
