Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I have a low sex drive. I am not sure what is the reason for it. I have low sperm counts and getting treatment for it. I am going to the gym daily. Still, my sex drive is low. I started watching porn sites a few months back. But, I am not getting a good sex drive while doing intercourse. I have frequent fights with my wife. I am mentally not prepared. We got married one and a half years before. We are trying for pregnancy. Please help me.

Answered by Dr. Bharat Udey

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You might be having a psychological issue rather than an underlying organic cause for your low sex drive.

  1. Interpersonal issues with your wife may be the main reason that you may not be in a mood to have sex.
  2. Excessive porn binging might have resulted in excessive sexual desire first which when not got it leads in a depleted self.
  3. Regular gym hitters usually have a healthy sex drive, until they get into medications like steroids or Oxytocin. So, if you are into such things, then you need to stop yourself.
  4. Excessive stress due to marital issues and workplace also affects libido resulting in loss of sexual drive.

I would suggest you get some blood work done to rule out any organic cause. Once it is ruled out, then measures can be taken to improve your libido.
