5 Reasons Your Sex Drive is Low<\/figcaption><\/figure>If your sex drive feels a little sluggish lately, you might be wondering what’s going on. At some point, everyone deals with low libido. Sex drives vary at different points in our lives, and typically these dry spells don’t last too long.<\/p>\n

However, if you feel as though you’ve lost interest in sex and it’s been that way while for awhile, it could signal other medical problems.<\/p>\n

To make sure your lack of interest isn’t something more serious, here’s a look at potential reasons for limited action between the sheets:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Low T<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When your testosterone levels drop, it takes your sex drive with it. The condition, known as Low T, can put a damper on your sex life but it can be remedied by a doctor. Your physician can measure your testosterone levels and give you supplements if your levels are too low.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Medications<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you’re taking prescriptions to treat medical problems, they might be the reason your sex life isn’t what it used to be. There are medications that lower your testosterone level as a side effect, which as discussed above, can tank your sex drive. Blood pressure medications, for example, can often lead to low libido.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Depression<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you’re coping with depression, this mood-altering condition can certainly effect your sex drive. Medications to treat it can also impact your libido.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Sleep apnea<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, a recent study shows that the condition can also impact a man’s testosterone levels and decrease sex drive.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Erectile dysfunction<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you’re having trouble getting or keeping an erection long enough for sex, you could have erectile dysfunction, or ED. Having a problem once or twice isn’t anything to worry about, but if the problem persists you should speak with your doctor. There are medications, like Cialis, that can treat ED.<\/p>\n

            Overall, if you’re experiencing a consistently low sex drive, you should speak with your doctor to make sure there aren’t additional medical problems in play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
