What Is Low Libido?

Low libido refers to a sustained reduction in sexual desire that causes personal distress or affects quality of life. It may occur independently or alongside symptoms such as fatigue, hormonal imbalance, mood changes, or metabolic dysfunction.

Sexual desire is influenced by multiple systems including sex hormones, thyroid function, cardiovascular health, mental well-being, sleep quality, and relationship dynamics.

Why Low Libido Often Goes Unaddressed

Many individuals do not discuss low libido with healthcare providers, and routine medical visits may not include comprehensive hormonal or metabolic assessment.

In addition, symptoms may be attributed solely to stress or aging without evaluating potential contributors such as testosterone imbalance, estrogen changes, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, or medication side effects.

Erectile concerns in men
Vaginal dryness or discomfort in women
Fatigue or low energy
