Home / Decreased Libido – Causes, Diagnosis & Treatment

At Emirates Hospital, we recognize that a decrease in libido can impact both physical and emotional well-being. While fluctuations in sexual desire are normal, persistent low libido may indicate underlying medical, hormonal, or psychological concerns. Identifying the cause early can help restore sexual health and overall quality of life.

Causes of Decreased Libido

Low libido can result from various factors, including lifestyle, mental health, and medical conditions. Understanding the root cause is essential for effective treatment.

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Low testosterone, estrogen, or thyroid hormones can reduce sexual desire and energy levels.
  • Stress & Mental Health Issues: Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress can interfere with libido by affecting mood and overall well-being.
  • Chronic Medical Conditions: Diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease can impact circulation and hormone levels, leading to decreased desire.
  • Medications & Treatments: Certain medications, including antidepressants, blood pressure drugs, and hormonal therapies, may suppress libido as a side effect.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Poor diet, lack of exercise, alcohol consumption, and smoking can reduce energy levels and affect sexual health.

Diagnosis of Decreased Libido

Identifying the underlying cause of decreased libido involves a thorough medical and psychological evaluation.

  • Blood Tests: Checks hormone levels, thyroid function, and overall health markers.
  • Psychological Assessment: Evaluates stress, anxiety, and emotional well-being.
  • Lifestyle & Medication Review: Identifies factors affecting sexual health.

Treatment Options of Decreased Libido

Restoring libido requires a personalized approach based on the underlying cause.

  • Hormone therapy and medical treatments help regulate testosterone, estrogen, or thyroid levels to restore balance.
  • Counseling and stress management support mental health, improving emotional well-being and sexual desire.
  • Lifestyle changes and wellness programs promote healthy diet, exercise, and better sleep, enhancing overall energy and libido.
