Have you not been in a mood for sex most of the time, lately? Have you felt the loss of sexual drive? Well, there is not much to worry about. Though a lot of people tend to have low sex drive, only a few openly talk about it. It is the flow of libido that regulates your sexual drive and loss of the same can hamper your sexual life.
While the physical issues that decrease the libido could include low testosterone, medicines, alcohol and drug use, smoking and too little or too much exercise, the psychological issues include anxiety, depression, stress and differences in your relationship with your partner.
Whatever be the cause, the best IVF clinic in Delhi shares some tips to fire up your libido.
- Meditation and Yoga:
No matter how healthy you are physically, psychological problems like stress and depression will always affect your sex drive. Meditation can help you relieve stress and revive your libido. Apart from meditation, even Yoga can increase the desire for sex.
- Testosterone:
As you age, the testosterone in your body tends to decline. Testosterone treatment happens to be one of the most safe and effective treatments to increase ones libido in men. However, in case of women, though some experts suggest the use of testosterone treatment, they are not free from side effects.
- Flibanserin:
Flibanserin, a non-hormonal drug, that treats decreased libido by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine and decreasing serotonin, a hormone that contributes to the feelings of inhibition, has been vouched by many doctors. However, despite of being able to increase the sexual drive, it has not been approved by FDA yet citing concerns with side effects like drowsiness and dizziness.
- Bupropin:
Similar to Flibanserin, Bupropin, an antidepressant, treats the low libido by increasing the level of dopamine and norepinephrine, which are quintessential to arousal of sex drive. Several studies go on to say that the bupropin has effective results.
- Herbs:
Several herbs like ashwagandha root, maca root, akarkara are known to stimulate the male hormones, thereby increasing one’s sexual drives. In case of women, herbs like asparagus and ginkgo biloba are quite useful in releasing stress and increasing the blood flow around the genital organs, thereby increasing the libido.
- DHEA Supplement:
DHEA or dehydroepiandrosterone, a neurotransmitter is useful for production of testosterone. However, while DHEA supplements are known to increase the sex drive in case of women, they may not be as effective and efficient for treating or reviving low libido in men.
Apart from the above mentioned treatments, a healthier lifestyle, abstinence from or cutting down on alcohol consumption, regular exercise and good sleep may help one treat the problem of decreased libido. Testosterone replacement therapy and changing the medicines that cause a decrease in libido, depending on the cause of low libido, may help one increase his or her sexual drive.
