Low Testosterone and other Sex Drive Killers that Cause Low Libido in Men
Libido is the source of sexual desire. Men often struggle with low libido combined with Erectile Dysfunction, but this is not always the case.
Often, men can get an erection but cannot generate sexual interest. This can happen for many reasons, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Sex drive is not only biological but psychological.
You have to be not only physically ready for sex but mentally. Unsatisfying sex life is one of the leading causes of romantic disintegration, and it's essential to understand the source of your relationship issues.
Social and Psychological Causes of Low Libido
If you've been having issues getting excited for your partner, it doesn't mean your sexual desire is forever extinguished. This is often a sign of the disconnect between you and your partner. Have there been relationship issues that have strained your attraction? Jealousy? Perhaps there's been a lack of emotional intimacy, making it harder to generate sexual excitement.
Sit down, talk with your partner about the issues you've been having, and work to remove the emotional and psychological barriers inhibiting sex drive.
However, libido issues are not always a sign of issues between you and your partner. Forces outside your relationship can also take a heavy toll on your sex drive. Taking anxiety and frustration home from work is easy, preventing you from kindling your attraction.
Your mind has a limited pool of resources to draw from. If you're overly stressed or otherwise distracted, it can take away from the energy you have available for sexual activity.
Stress and anxiety directly cause elevated levels of Cortisol, your body's primary stress hormone. Increased cortisol correlates with lower Testosterone, which can lead to plummeting libido.
Many Health Problems Lead to Low Libido
Any health condition your body has to divert significant resources toward coping with or overcoming can also impact sex drive. Cortisol acts both on mental function and the physical self. Arthritis and chronic fatigue are two conditions that can lead to low libido via elevated Cortisol.
Any diagnosis that suppresses Testosterone Production can also cause sexual insufficiency, such as diabetes. Kidney failure, heart disease, cancer, and fibromyalgia correlate with impaired sex drive.
Drugs and Their Effect on Sex Drive
Low Libido and Erectile dysfunction are often triggered by substance abuse and prescription medications. Alcohol is well known for interfering with the physiological processes associated with sex drive and erection formation.
Opiates also cause similar issues. Both suppress the nervous system, making it harder for your brain and body to interact as they should. Antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and blood pressure medications are all common treatments that sap libido.
If a change in your prescription routine has caused Sexual Issues in your life, your doctor can usually adjust your therapy to mitigate libido issues.
Testosterone Deficiency and Low Libido
Of course, Low Libido is also caused by Hormone Imbalance. Testosterone is the triggering hormone for both erection and sex drive. Testosterone Deficiency is most strongly associated with lack of libido, erectile dysfunction, and fatigue.
Low-T not only impacts your sex life but your overall health. If you've noticed these symptoms, it may be time to reach out to an appropriate health professional. Men's Health Clinics specialize in helping men overcome Testosterone Deficiency and other issues that reduce the quality of life and romantic satisfaction.
A Hormone Specialist can help figure out the biological source of your sexual problems and offer a range of choices designed to get you back in the saddle.
Low-T is not a death sentence for your sex life. Prescription Testosterone Therapy is highly effective at boosting Testosterone back into the ideal and healthy range. It also has the added benefits of enhancing strength, body composition, mental disposition, and more.
While no HRT Regimen is without its risks, Bio-Identical Testosterone Treatments have an excellent safety profile for most patients.
