Low Libido in Encino, CA

A decrease in sex drive is a condition that is unique in the fact that there is no definitive way to monitor it. Doctors have no gauge for what a "normal" sex drive should be, so it is defined differently with each and every patient whether they're a man or a woman.

Only you can define what your natural desire for sexual relations should be, and as a result, only you can decide when it's time to seek the help of a qualified professional.

If you've noticed a decrease in your libido, it could be due to a number of factors. The solution may be simple, as in the case where the culprit is a side effect from a medication you were prescribed. It could be the result of the physical and mental anguish that comes with dealing with an unrelated chronic pain , or it may be hormonal .
