Sexual desire naturally varies between people and changes over time. Low libido is only a problem if it bothers you or affects your relationship. Common causes include:
- Stress, tiredness and poor sleep.
- Relationship difficulties or communication problems.
- Depression or anxiety.
- Hormonal changes, such as after childbirth, during menopause or with low testosterone.
- Some medicines, including certain antidepressants and blood pressure treatments.
- Heavy drinking or drug use.
- Long-term conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease.
Talking openly with your partner can ease pressure on both of you. If low desire persists or worries you, speak to a doctor, who can look for medical causes and review your medicines. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice. Counseling or sex therapy can also help.
