Having a balanced sex drive is an important part of overall well-being, and decreased libido is often linked to factors such as aging and hormonal imbalances. Dr. Edward Jacobson understands that this symptom can cause personal and spousal challenges, and he has decades of experience helping men and women restore a healthy sex life with hormonal treatment. Contact Greenwich Hormones today to schedule a hormone replacement therapy consultation and learn what you can expect from New York hormone therapy for decreased libido.
For both men and women, hormones are the primary regulators of libido. Testosterone drives sexual desire, while estrogen supports arousal and comfort. As we age, these hormones decline. This can happen for women at an earlier age than men, or can fluctuate more throughout the female life span due to other factors impacting hormones, such as pregnancy, the menstrual cycle, and birth control. For women, hormonal changes can also result in vaginal dryness, which can further decrease the appeal of intercourse.
Other factors that can impact libido include alcohol, drug use, or certain medications. Antidepressants, certain high blood pressure medications, and hair restoration drugs are common among our clients and can be significant contributors to lower libido, especially in males. Certain medical conditions themselves can also impact libido, such as thyroid issues, depression, diabetes, and high cholesterol. These conditions can cause hormonal imbalances, creating sexual challenges on top of other health considerations that can be addressed with hormone therapy.
Because men and women have different hormonal makeup and require a different balance of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, hormone therapy will look different for each gender. For women, treatment involves the use of bioidentical hormones derived from yams or soy. These hormones are naturally-derived and have the same molecular makeup as those produced by the body, so they do not carry the same risk as the off-the-shelf estrogens that are linked to breast cancer and heart attacks.
For men in New York, hormone therapy involves the replacement of testosterone to not only improve libido but also address erectile dysfunction. This can be administered through patches, gels, or injections.
