Low Libido
Also known as: Hypoactive Sexual Desire · Reduced Sex Drive
Low libido is reduced sexual desire that causes personal distress. In adults it is most often a downstream signal of hormonal change, relationship/psychological context, medication side effects, or metabolic dysfunction.
What you need to know
In men, libido tracks free testosterone, estradiol balance, prolactin, sleep, and cardiovascular health. In women, it tracks estradiol, progesterone, free testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, and perimenopausal stage. Common reversible contributors include SSRI use, hormonal contraception, chronic stress, alcohol, and unmanaged sleep apnea. Optimization-medicine evaluation pairs biomarker review with symptom mapping rather than treating a single number.
