Loss of Libido

To treat loss of sexual drive, it is necessary to consult with your doctor. During your visit, your doctor tries to identify the causes of loss of sex drive by discussing your detailed medical history, your emotional and relationship status, being physically examined, and checking special lab results. Identifying the causes of loss of libido in men helps them choose the best treatment method.
Treatment of low-sex desire can be a bit complicated as this can be related to mental, physical, and psychological reasons. For example, sometimes relationship problems or unhealthy lifestyles can fluctuate men’s sexual desire. So, treating loss of libido in men is more complicated than simply using pills to drive sex desire for a short time.
In case you have lost libido due to some physical problem or medication usage, the doctor can use treatment methods like testosterone replacement therapy to improve your sex drive.

There is no specific definition of the level of sexual desire. This varies from person to person, despite the fact that men’s libido can fluctuate on special occasions and age.
For example, a patient thinks that he has a low libido because he only needs to have sexual intercourse once or twice a week. During the consultation time, we learn that the idea that “men should always be up for sex” is dominant among most men.
The question of low libido symptoms remains unanswered, owing to the fact that no specific amount of sexual desire can be mentioned as NORMAL.
If a person has no interest in any type of sexual activity, even masturbation, or does not have sexual fantasies or thoughts, and is worried about his sexual activity should visit a doctor. In addition to those, if you have a sudden loss of sex drive (for no specific reason) should make an appointment with a doctor to consult.

There are many reasons for dealing with low libido, and they can range from physical, psychological reasons or personal factors. Below, we briefly mention a list of loss of sexual desire causes:

Lifestyle and habits

Such as getting poor sleep, too much (or too little) exercise, high level of stress, alcohol consumption, drug use, smoking, and so on. 

Medical and health conditions

Chronic pain, experiencing a serious disease, recovery from a serious illness such as cancer, vasectomy surgery, a side effect of using specific medication, and underlying health problems, such as diabetes, low testosterone, hormone production issues, and so on. 

Mental status

You may experience no sex drive as a result of dealing with depression, having an unpleasant body image of yourself or your partner, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and many more. Also, people who have experienced traumas such as sexual assault in childhood, lose sexual desire as an adult.

Vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure to limit men fertility. The studies have shown that men who have gone through vasectomy surgery complain about loss of libido. The vasectomy itself does not affect men sexual life, as it neither decreases sex drive nor affects the male testosterone hormone. It also does not have any effect on erection or ejaculation ability.
However, the complaints regarding loss of sex drive after vasectomy is related to the psychosocial instability, depression, or anxiety and loss of self-esteem.

It’s simple to detect loss of libido. Generally, when you have a lower interest in sex or your sensation, and sexual fantasies are reduced compared to before, then you are suffering from loss of libido.

if you have:

• no or little interest in sexual activities,
• no interest to start a sexual intercourse with your partner,
• have trouble feeling pleasure when your genitals are stimulated,
• have little or no sexual thoughts and fantasies,
• no good feeling in your sex

then you should visit a doctor to treat loss of libido.
