Low libido - Renewal Hormone Center

What is low libido?

Low libido, or low sex drive, refers to a lack of interest in sexual activity. It is generally considered low if it causes distress or negatively affects relationships. Though lower libido is more common as people age, low libido is not necessarily normal at any age.

Some potential causes of low libido include:

• Hormonal changes - Low testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone can affect libido for both women and men. Hormone levels fluctuate naturally but sometimes hormone therapy is needed.
• Medical conditions - Chronic illness, like diabetes or high blood pressure, or prescription medications, like antidepressants, can negatively impact sex drive
• Psychological issues - Stress, poor body image, depression and anxiety can also lower libido
• Relationship problems - Issues with intimate partner communication and sexual compatibility can diminish desire for sex

A sudden or significant decrease in sex drive should always be discussed with your doctor to identify potential underlying medical conditions.
