Understanding Low Libido
Contributing factors
Low sexual desire can have more than one contributing factor. An assessment looks at physical health, mental well-being, relationships, medications and lifestyle to understand what may be affecting desire.
Hormonal changes
Changes in hormones such as estrogen and testosterone can affect sexual desire. Thyroid conditions, postpartum changes and menopause can also contribute to reduced desire.
Medical conditions
Chronic illnesses, hormonal imbalances and medication side effects may affect sexual desire or sexual function.
Psychological factors
Stress, anxiety, depression and past trauma can influence sexual desire and intimacy.
Relationship factors
Unresolved conflict, communication difficulties and reduced emotional connection may contribute to sexual difficulties.
Body image & self-esteem
Insecurities about body image or attractiveness can affect sexual confidence and willingness to engage in intimacy.
Lifestyle factors
Poor sleep, physical exhaustion, limited physical activity and excessive alcohol consumption can affect energy levels and sexual desire.

Frequently ask questions
Yes. Sexual desire can change with age, relationships, stress, life events, hormonal changes, and general health. A change does not automatically indicate a medical problem, particularly if it does not cause distress.
Yes. Some antidepressants can affect sexual desire, arousal, or orgasm. If you notice changes after starting medication, discuss them with your prescribing clinician rather than stopping treatment on your own.
Yes. Partners may naturally have different levels of sexual desire, which can sometimes cause tension or misunderstanding. Open communication and, when useful, relationship counselling can help couples navigate these differences.
No. Testosterone treatment is not appropriate for everyone with low sexual desire. It may be considered in selected cases after a thorough assessment, and treatment decisions should account for hormone levels, medical history, and fertility plans.
Adequate sleep may support energy, mood, and general well-being, which can influence sexual desire. However, persistent low libido may have additional medical, psychological, or relationship-related causes that require evaluation.
A consultation may involve discussing changes in sexual desire, medications, medical history, sleep, stress, relationships, and hormonal health. Depending on the findings, your clinician may recommend laboratory tests, counselling, medication review, or other treatment options.
