Reasons for Low Sex Drive

Most couples go through phases where one or both partners have a low sex drive. While occasional and dry spells are completely normal, you shouldn’t ignore long stretches of low sex drive. Ignoring it may strain the relationship and make you emotionally distant from your partner.

Additionally, it’s also important to remember that low sex drive may be happening due to an underlying condition that needs treatment. Low libido or complete loss of libido could merely be a symptom of a bigger problem that requires intervention.

If you’re suffering from a low sex drive, you should identify its root cause and nip it in the bud. Here are some possible reasons why your sex drive may have taken a dip.

Poor Mental Health

Poor mental health is also one of the top causes of low sex drive. Stress, depression, and anxiety can not only alter your state of mind but also alter the hormone levels in your body and contribute to low libido. Therapy and medication should help overcome these problems and regain a healthy sex life.

Sexual Dysfunction

Both men and women suffer from sexual dysfunction caused by a wide range of problems. Hypertension is one of the causes of sexual dysfunction as it can constrict the blood vessels near the genitals and hinder the blood flow to these parts. It can cause erectile dysfunction in men and vaginal dryness in women. Using lubricants for vaginal dryness and treating erectile dysfunction can help overcome these problems.

Pregnancy, Child Birth, or Menopause

Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can all cause a change in a woman’s hormone levels and can greatly alter their sex drive. This can also contribute to an excessively dry vagina and the changing body, which may cause a lower sex drive.

Medicines

Chemotherapy, certain contraceptives, antipsychotics, and antidepressants cause low libido in men and women. They can result in problems such as vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, and difficulty reaching an orgasm.
