1. Could it be caused by medications I'm taking? Loss of libido is a common side effect to some prescription medications.
2. I'm angry/stressed/tired/overwhelmed — could this be part of the problem? Emotions can wreak havoc with hormone levels and the endocrine system, and that can put a damper on your desire.
3. Am I overweight? High cholesterol and insulin resistance — two common medical conditions associated with being overweight — can affect sexual performance.
4. Could I be suffering from depression? Depressed people are rarely interested in sex.
5. Could I have a hormonal problem? Imbalances of testosterone in men and estrogen in women can lower libido.
6. I experience pain during sex — enough that I don't want to have sex much anymore. What's causing it? The problem could range from the relatively easy to correct (such as not enough foreplay) to a more severe underlying condition (such as an estrogen deficiency).
7. I haven't been able to achieve an orgasm in a while. What's happening to me? The problem could be related to medication you're taking, or it could be a harder-to-pinpoint psychological issue. Either way, your doctor will be able to help.
