Скачать или смотреть 9 Reasons for Low Sex Drive in Women + How to Boost Libido

Low sex drive in women is a serious problem and should be evaluated as soon as possible.

In this video,​ I go over the most common causes of low sex drive and decreased libido in women including how to correctly diagnose and treat the problem.

One of the main causes of low sex drive is low testosterone. Low testosterone is an important factor in women as it relates to libido, muscle mass (and weight loss), mood and quality of life.

What's interesting is that there is a strong link between low testosterone and decreased libido in many women. And many conditions that you might not realize contribute to low testosterone in one way or another.

For this reason, evaluating your testosterone is very important and replacing those levels may be necessary in some women.

Here are the top 9 reasons for Low sex drive in women:

1) Low testosterone
Make sure to check both free and total serum testosterone levels

2) Hypothyroidism or autoimmune thyroiditis
Check a complete thyroid panel

3) Vaginal atrophy
Consider the use of topical/transdermal estriol or systemic bioidentical hormone replacement therapy

4) Insulin resistance
Check serum fasting insulin, blood glucose, and hgb A1c
Take insulin sensitizing supplements if necessary

5) Depression and other mood disorders
Get evaluated and naturally treat depression if present (avoid SSRI's if possible as these may worsen sex drive)

6) Your partner may have low testosterone
Manage your partner's libido and testosterone levels if necessary

7) Weight gain
Weight gain itself may cause low libido, make sure to address all hormone imbalances and treat accordingly (see post for more details and case studies on weight loss)

8) High-stress levels
Consider adrenal adaptogens (like ashwagandha) or adrenal glandulars.

9) Medications
Narcotics, antidepressants, diabetic medications and blood pressure medications may be contributing to sex drive (don't go off medications but discuss options with your provider)
