Loss of Sexual Interest
Your interest in sex, also called libido, can vary over the course of your life. Some men have low libidos during times of stress or illness. At times, your interest and desire for sex might not match that of your partner, which is normal in long-term relationships. Still, low libido should not be ignored. It can be a sign of a health problem, such as depression. Some medicines can affect sex drive. Reduced levels of male hormones can cause men to be less interested in sex. This naturally occurs with aging. Although it is normal for men to have less interest in sex as they age, having no interest in sex is not normal. Emotional or relationship problems also can play a large role in a man’s sex drive. More information about Loss of Sexual Interest.
If you have less interest in sex, talking frankly with your doctor is the first step toward restoring sexual health. Treatment usually is aimed at the underlying cause of low libido. A combination of factors often affects sex drive. Treatment could include pills like Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis and counselling.
Please Note!
ED Drugs are Not Safe for Everyone
Many men now take a pill to treat erection problems. Current brands include Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis. These drugs work by affecting blood pressure. They are not safe for everyone. Never take Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis if you take heart medicines called nitrates. Doing so could cause a sudden — and dangerous — drop in blood pressure. Also, tell your doctor if you take any drugs called alpha-blockers, which are used to treat prostate enlargement or high blood pressure. Before taking drugs to treat ED, talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks so you can make an informed choice.
