Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 25-year-old female. As an important aspect of overall wellness, I am interested in understanding more about libido, factors that may affect it, and potential measures to maintain or enhance it. I have several questions and concerns. Please provide insights into the various factors that can influence libido. Also, provide information on potential reasons for a decrease or fluctuation in libido. You can also give guidance on lifestyle changes, exercises, dietary considerations, or therapeutic options that may positively impact libido.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I went through your query and can understand your concern.
Low libido has many reasons including,
1. Infections – It can be due to urine infection (can do urine analysis and ultrasound of the pelvis) to diagnose the cause.
2. Diabetes, hypertension - Make sure blood pressure and blood sugar are under control.
3. Hormonal disturbances- Low testosterone, low levels of thyroid, and high levels of prolactin can cause low libido.
4. Obesity - Plan for regular exercise and yoga.
5. High cholesterol – Check for lipid profile and plan for regular exercise.
6. Chronic disease or on any chronic medications.
7. Anxiety can also cause libido issues.
I suggest you do an ultrasound of the pelvis, thyroid check-up, and lipid Profile to know cholesterol levels. You can take a tablet of Mildfil (phosphodiesterase inhibitor) as a temporary solution.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.
