About low libido in men (low sex drive)
Sexual desire depends on hormones, mood, health, relationships and life stress. Libido falls with major stress, poor sleep, depression and anxiety, alcohol excess, certain medicines (antidepressants, blood pressure drugs, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors), thyroid problems, diabetes and low testosterone.
Because the causes are so varied, a calm assessment of mood, relationship, medicines, sleep and general health, with a morning testosterone and basic blood tests, is the first step. Treating the cause usually restores desire. See also low testosterone.
