Low libido, or decreased sex drive, occurs when someone experiences less desire for sexual activity than is considered average. It can affect both men and women. Potential causes include:
People with low libido may engage in and enjoy sex less frequently, though feelings vary individually. For some, it causes little concern, but for others, it strains their relationships and quality of life.
If low libido persists and feels disruptive, consider consulting a healthcare professional at Revive Health & Wellness. Blood tests can check hormone levels, and medications or lifestyle changes may help. Open communication with one's partner is also key.
With compassion and understanding, people can adapt and regain a fulfilling sex life despite fluctuating desire. The range of "normal" libido is broad. Prioritizing intimacy in new ways often renews passion over time.
