Is Your Medication Ruining Your Sex Drive?
Have you noticed a dip in your sex drive lately? There could be many explanations, from hormonal changes to stress and anxiety. And sometimes, a person's medications are to blame.
In our latest blog post, we discuss three types of drugs that often lower libido: antidepressants, birth control pills, and finasteride (a drug that may be used to treat an enlarged prostate or male-pattern hair loss).
These aren't the only types of drugs that can decrease sex drive. In our next blog post, we continue the discussion.
No matter what the cause, if you aren't feeling as interested in sex as you used to be, give your doctor a call. If you need to find a sexual medicine specialist, try our Find a Provider tool.
For Older Couples, Regular Sex Maintains Marital Quality
A healthy sex life helps keep relationships strong, especially in older couples, experts say.
