When Desire Fades
A drop in sexual desire is more common than most men admit. It affects relationships, self-esteem, and often signals an underlying health issue — which means it can usually be treated once the cause is found.
Common Causes of Low Libido in Men
Hormonal: low testosterone, thyroid disorders, high prolactin
Medical: diabetes, obesity, chronic illness, sleep apnea
Medications: some antidepressants, blood pressure
medicines
Psychological: stress, depression, relationship conflict, burnout
Lifestyle: poor sleep, excessive alcohol, sedentary routine
How Low Libido Is Evaluated
At Care and Cure Sexologist, Hyderabad, evaluation includes a detailed history, hormone blood tests (testosterone, thyroid, prolactin), screening for
diabetes, and a review of medications and mental health. This matters because treating the wrong cause wastes time and money.
Restoring Desire
Treatment is targeted: hormone correction where deficient, medication adjustments, managing sleep and stress, structured exercise (which naturally boosts testosterone), and couples counselling where relationship factors contribute. Most men see desire return once the underlying cause is addressed.
FAQs
Q: Is low libido normal with age?
Some decline is natural, but a sudden or severe drop at any age deserves evaluation.
Q: Can stress alone kill sex drive?
Yes. Chronic stress raises cortisol, which directly suppresses testosterone and desire.
Q: Will testosterone therapy fix it?
Only if testosterone is genuinely low. Proper testing comes first — never self-medicate.
