About Reduced Sex Drive

Reduced sex drive, or hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), is not a single procedure but a complex medical condition evaluated and managed by an Internal Medicine specialist. The process involves a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to identify underlying causes, which can range from hormonal imbalances and chronic illnesses to psychological factors and medication side effects. The internist conducts a detailed medical history, physical examination, and orders targeted laboratory tests. Management is personalized and may include lifestyle modifications, medication adjustments, hormone therapy, or referrals to specialists like endocrinologists or mental health professionals. The goal is to restore a healthy libido by treating the root cause, improving overall well-being and quality of life.
