Frequently Asked Questions About Low Libido Treatment

What is considered low libido in men?
Low libido is a persistent lack of interest in sexual activity that causes personal distress. Normal libido varies between individuals. When a man's desire is significantly lower than his baseline or his partner's, and it causes concern, it may be considered low libido requiring evaluation.
What causes low sex drive in men?
Common causes include low testosterone, depression, stress, anxiety, sleep disorders (sleep apnea), obesity, diabetes, thyroid disorders, chronic illness, certain medications (SSRIs, beta-blockers), relationship issues, performance anxiety, and excessive alcohol or drug use.
How can I increase my libido naturally?
Natural approaches include regular exercise (especially resistance training), adequate sleep (7-9 hours), stress management, healthy diet with adequate protein and healthy fats, maintaining healthy weight, limiting alcohol, quitting smoking, and addressing relationship concerns. Getting testosterone levels checked is important.
Can low testosterone cause low libido?
Yes, low testosterone is one of the most common causes of low libido in men. Testosterone is the primary hormone driving male sexual desire. When levels are low, both sexual desire and erectile function can be affected. Testosterone Replacement Therapy can restore libido in men with documented deficiency.
Do antidepressants cause low libido?
Yes, SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline, and Escitalopram commonly cause sexual side effects including low libido, delayed ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction. This affects 30-70% of users. Alternative medications like Bupropion (Wellbutrin) may have fewer sexual side effects.
Can stress cause low libido?
Yes, chronic stress elevates cortisol and depletes testosterone, directly reducing libido. Stress also affects sleep, mood, and relationship quality, creating a cascade of factors that suppress sexual desire. Stress management is a key component of libido restoration.
How is low libido diagnosed?
Low libido is diagnosed through comprehensive evaluation including medical history, hormone blood tests (testosterone, prolactin, TSH, estradiol), assessment of medications, depression and anxiety screening, and relationship evaluation.
What is the treatment for low libido in men?
Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Options include testosterone replacement therapy (if deficient), medication adjustment (switching SSRIs), treating depression or anxiety, couples therapy, lifestyle optimization, and managing chronic conditions like diabetes or sleep apnea.
