A noticeable drop in sexual desire is common and can stem from stress, hormonal shifts, fatigue, or relationship factors. It's rarely discussed openly, but it's a genuine health concern worth addressing rather than dismissing.
At Herbal Park, Dr. Vahab R A treats low libido with an approach that looks beyond the symptom itself — considering stress load, sleep, hormonal status, and overall vitality, since libido is often one of the first things affected when the body's reserves are depleted.
What Causes Low Libido?
Low libido commonly develops from a combination of factors:
- Chronic stress and burnout, depleting overall vitality
- Hormonal imbalances, including low testosterone or thyroid dysfunction
- Poor sleep quality
- Relationship or psychological factors
- Certain medications, including some antidepressants and blood pressure medications
- Depleted Ojas (vital reserve) from sustained overexertion
Low libido is understood in Ayurveda as depletion of Shukra Dhatu and Ojas — when the body's vital reserves are consumed faster than they can be replenished, desire is often one of the first functions to diminish as a protective response.
Common Symptoms of Low Libido
Presentation can include:
- Noticeably reduced interest in sexual activity
- Fatigue or low overall energy
- Reduced physical stamina
- Mood changes alongside reduced desire
- Sleep disturbance
- Situational versus persistent pattern of reduced libido
If low libido began suddenly or coincides with starting a new medication, it's worth discussing with your prescribing doctor, as medication side effects are a common and reversible cause.
