What is Low libido?

Low libido, often referred to as a decreased sexual desire, is a condition characterized by a reduced interest in sexual activities. This can lead to a lack of motivation and enthusiasm for intimacy, affecting overall sexual satisfaction.

In men, low libido can manifest as a diminished desire for sexual experiences. Factors such as stress, hormonal imbalances , and underlying health issues can contribute to this condition, impacting both relationships and self-esteem.

Our specialized men’s clinic offers tailored treatments addressing the root causes of low libido, ensuring a comprehensive approach to men’s health. Trust us to provide personalized care and support to restore your sexual well-being and enhance your quality of life.

Research at men’s health clinics shows that libido is a person’s overall sexual drive or desire for sexual activity. Biologically the sexual hormones and associated neurotransmitters that act upon the nucleus accumbens regulate libido levels in human beings. South Africa and Johannesburg in particular being a very busy community, our sexual health consultants note that social, economic and psychological factors play a huge role in one’s body’s ability to produce libido. Men’s health clinics furthermore take note of other factors such as medical conditions, lifestyle and age amongst others as significant influencers not to be ignored in one’s body’s natural ability to produce libido.

Men’s health clinics recommend regular sexual activity as this has been known to promote a healthier sex life. In this case the body gets tamed to be more productive when it comes to natural production of libido. A person may have a desire for sex but not have the opportunity to act on the desire, due to personal moral or sentimental beliefs.  

Men’s health clinics consultants bare testimony to the dangers of low libido in relationships. It has been noted that in situations whereby couples are strained by effects of low libido, the relationships get to suffer even greater strain many a time leading to unnecessary augments, breakups and divorce.

At Men’s Health Clinics we prioritize the restoration of the human body’s natural ability to reproduce and stabilize libido levels to enhance satisfactory sexual desires on a natural basis without the use of chronic medication or the use of injections

Low Libido

Causes Of Low Libido

Low Testosterone

Testosterone is an important male hormone. In men, it’s mostly produced in the testicles. Testosterone is responsible for building muscles and bone mass, and for stimulating sperm production. One’s testosterone levels also factor into one’s sex drive, When one’s testosterone levels decrease, one’s desire for sex also decreases.

Sleep Loss

Sleep loss is another common libido killer. This is not only in old men, but even young men who spends long hours onto their jobs, hence their libido tends to decrease. Another problem would be obstructive sleep apnea. This condition interrupts your breathing throughout the night, making it difficult to settle into a deep, restful sleep. This result in daylight fatigue that can dampen your sex drive.

Medication 

Some medication given to treat health issues such as anxiety, depression, blood pressure, diabetes, cancer frequently contribute largely to low libido. Most antidepressants, antipsychotics and psychiatric medications broadly can have a negative impact on libido.

Stress

Stress being a feeling of emotional or physical tension, Men’s health clinics sexual health consultants take it upon themselves to understand and individually customise every consultation independently following the nature of the community we serve.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is the uncontrollable urge to move your legs. A study has found that men with RLS are at a higher risk of developing erectile dysfunction (ED) than those without RLS. ED occurs when a man can’t have or maintain an erection.

Researchers discovered that men who have RLS occurrences at least five times per month are about 50 per cent more likely to develop ED than men without RLS.

Also, men who had RLS episodes more frequently were even more likely to become impotent this notion alone should prompt one to contact us
