Poor Sex Drive

Is your Poor Sex Drive affecting your relationship?

Core Medical Group can help you with any deficiencies in your sex drive.

Remember that the definition of a poor sex drive is subjective -- and defined by the person who has one. A man has that perceives his Sex Drive to be low will have a distressing effect on his self esteem.
It contradicts all the cultural beliefs we have about the way men are and/or are supposed to be, but the reality is... American men are waning in their desire for sex.


What can cause Poor Sex Drive?

Physical causes

  • Alcoholism – quite common.
  • Abuse of drugs such as cocaine.
  • Obesity – quite common; slimming down will often help.
  • Anaemia - unusual, unless the man has been bleeding for any reason.
  • Hyperprolactinaemia – a rare disorder where the pituitary gland produces too much of the hormone prolactin.
  • Prescribed drugs – particularly Proscar (finasteride), a tablet used for prostate problems.
  • Low testosterone level - contrary to what many people think, this is rare, except in cases where some injury or illness has affected the testicles.
  • Any major disease such as diabetes.

Psychological causes

  • Depression – very common.
  • Stress and overwork.
  • Hang-ups from childhood.
  • Latent homosexuality.
  • Serious relationship problems with your partner.

What should a man do about a Poor Sex Drive? 

You can begin by contacting Core Medical Group of Florida. All the above causes of lack of libido can respond well to therapy. The most difficult to treat are those that involve marital problems or hang-ups about sex.

Sometimes your libido is low due to factors related to lifestyle. Very often you may feel fatigued after a long day at work, have financial pressures, personal stress - or a legitimate headache. In addition, unresolved personal issues within a relationship may also escalate into a state where a low libido and a low sex drive becomes the norm. Research has shown that most men who experience a poor sex drive can achieve erections, but have lost the sexual desire. Similarly many women can reach an orgasm, but have no real sexual desire.

Regaining testosterone to  youthful levels with testosterone replacement can help with a poor sex drive. All too often, men automatically assume that as they age, their sexual capacity will diminish. There is no need to accept this loss of sexuality. We should be able to live our life with the same excitement and enthusiasm we enjoyed during our youth.
