Great info Dr. R.!! 70 yo male in great health on TRT for 3 years, great 42 year marriage, early retired. All good, but I will say routine can take a toll on libido. Both partners have to work on it. It may also not involve conventional sexual interactions.
The only time i noted a clear drop in the libido was when i was doing Marathon training for a couple of Years. The hard training reduced it somewhat, but it was not a problem, actually it made life easier at that time.
You can't know for sure until an endocrinologist performs some tests on you to establish what is causing the low libido. I did those tests actually. Then they put me on a NEBIDO injection ( A testosterone therapy). I am now performing like a 20 year old. The stamina is fantastic and I am now always achieving rock hard erections. I got two injections 12 weeks apart. Some 18 months ago.
@@treadrich4284 yea but if it’s depression causing low T then testosterone will probably be low in both depression AND low Testosterone levels.. there’s gotta be another test to differentiate between the two
@@darkcarnage5239 Maybe if body fat lower than 18% but cortiso is high level maybe indicate that come form depression but for sure go to endocrinologist and Psychiatrist to find out (Sorry Im not good in english languageX
@@darkcarnage5239how did you come to the conclusion that depression can cause low testosterone? Your low libido can be caused by lots of other reasons than low testosterone. Elevated stress levels lowers your testosterone in the long run though
Thanks for sharing about low libido causes! It's good to know about hormonal imbalances, stress, and meds affecting sex drive. Also, body image, alcohol use, can be a significant factor . In my case , i found that supplements always do wonders :)
Couple years ago I started considering myself as asexual due to low desire. I have epilepsy, taking carbamazepine for this. And recently I was diagnosed with a moderate depressive episode so started taking SSRI. So yeah. Seems its going from low to none
An SSRI can definitely make it worse. But so can diet. The worse though is stopping the SSRI without tapering so definitely speak again to your doctor.
Mirtazipine is an SRI that has the least sexual dysfunction side effects (Paroxetine is associated with the strongest cause of sexual dysfunction of all the SRIs). Could try weekend drug vacations. And, add-on bupropion is known to help increase libido in those taking SRis, both men and women. Could be worth discussing options with your provider. *this is not medical advice and this information can be found doing basic internet searches"

Being constantly stressed by living next door to inconsiderate self entitled morons, load music, barking dogs and the other general bullshit that society selfishly inflicts on others. That's my issue.
The solution to that is to stop being afraid to focus on yourself. Why are you troubling yourself with what all of society is doing? Get yourself together before focusing on anyone else.
I am 67 , a male and single. I still have an interest in sex and no erectile dysfunction but when I think of what is involved to form a relationship with a woman I just can't be bothered with the effort.
Maybe you could talk about visceral fat, fat in the circulatory system, etc. No doctor will even mention this and I think it's because there's no pill they can sell to eliminate visceral fat.
I'm definetly under 230 nonoliter/decileter.... constant high endurance workout....I'm thinking if testosterone boost suppliments would be a good choice if it doesn't mess up with my body creating testoerone naturally?
Very interesting video. Are you aware of the effect of low doses of THC on libido? I have consumed as little as 2.5 mg of THC in legally obtained edibles, and have found an increase in libido.
Or what is value of free testosterone from direct blood test of free testos terone.because from direct free t is 13pg/ml but when i did calculated with my shbg it come out 1.47%. My shbg is 55 and total is 478ng/dl also my albumin 4.7 when i calculate it came out 1.47%.
Dr. Can unisom cause low libido? I use sleeping pill at night because I have issue sleeping and I still get morning wood but I just want to know if there is any side effects long run
How about her low /lack of libido? Mid 40’s pre-menopause ? Hypothyroidism , thyroidism? BP high heart rate anxiety and med to help it? Them wanting it more than looking at it like a job,?
@chilekwak.chilekwaii4960 I have the Mirena and I absolutely agree with you. It's like when you get on certain contraceptives and gain weight. Everyone is different and require different things. Whatever works for the individual is best and guys need to realise this.
@@oneofthegoodonesok oh ya, it’s obvious as we get older it takes a lil more to get things done and people get tired. But regardless ,ya have to talk to partner about it if ya think you’re lacking. I always say it may be awkward , but ya can’t have less sex than the zero ya may already be in . It’s a topic neither may realize or know about but if you’d both still like to , then look at options. Daily tasks are always there . But ya should be able to have fun with your partner and it’s good for your health and both benefit. And don’t be afraid to practice or ask what they like. Cause if ya aren’t ever getting the job done then that could be a problem or culprit too. Talk to each other
I'm 27 & have been taking finasteride for about 2 years. I've noticed that my desire for sex has dropped & it takes more effort for me to get going during sex but I don't have ED
What about low sex drive happening naturally, where anything close to a full erection was impossible? Last week I lost all sexual desire basically. I am as healthy as I could be on paper, exercises frequently enough, no drugs of any sort, and no changes in lifestyle or diet compared to the weeks before. Only for a week though, and it scared me with thinking what is happening.
I think it would be good, if a patient has never had T tested, that a doctor test to establish a baseline for that patient when that patient is not experiencing libido disturbance. That way when the patient does experience a drop in libido, they will have a T reference point of when they felt a strong healthy libido.
I’m 50 and my libido is just fine,now my wife on the other hand doesn’t want to have sex at all,it’s been a whole year since we last had sex,and it’s not because of me withholding it.
porn addiction, thats it. if you are 20-30s and having issues I am pretty sure should stay away from screen. do nofap but ppl say it takes looong time depending on how fucked up you are.
Forget the studies.. a man tried to approach a woman and your possibly called..creepy, stalker,get shame speech or possibly loose your job . Low Desire is better than a law bc suit. I went to Thailand met very cute , very attractive ladies and libido can back as well as better women to look forward too
My girlfriend hasn't had penetration since her full hysterectomy 4 years ago. She's extremely tight , even a pinky finger is painful and causes her to bleed. I've tried coaching her into using the vagina dilator kit but she's too gun shy about pain. What should I do?
Lost a ton of respect for Dr Malik. Checked her website and she’s charging $2000 for an initial 60 min visit with her. As a physician, this is disgusting behavior for any medical professional to matter how “famous” you are
People have been gay since the beginning of recorded history at the very least. It's just no longer legal to force people to hide their sexuality. Until relatively recently a man in the US could be fired from his job, evicted from his apartment and thrown in jail for being gay. That's excellent motivation to hide your sexuality. Absence of oppression leads to greater expression. The same goes for the entire LGBTQ+ community. We're just seeing a more accurate perception of the diversity of human sexuality. It will take time for everyone to adjust to the new normal.

How do you know if it’s depression causing low libido or low testosterone causing low libido (which can cause depression too)?
Blood work maybe

Switch to Wellbutrin, it is an ant-idepessant but helps sex-drive if it has any effect. Also helps ADHD.
Hello Dr. Malik 😊
I feel age is factor, your partner & one Diet!
This is very informative! Thank you for this video!
Do blood pressure meds have an effect on sexual desire and/or performance?

the answer would be to move but that is not always an option...

does crestor (cholesterol) medication interfere with libido or ed?
Great video and very informative.

Antidepressants can definitely affect your sexual life.

What supplements are good for boosting libido ?
Thanks beautiful.
How about her low /lack of libido? Mid 40’s pre-menopause ? Hypothyroidism , thyroidism? BP high heart rate anxiety and med to help it? Them wanting it more than looking at it like a job,?
Or just exhausted from working all day and night and demanding men. It puts off a lot of women. Not always health related.
Some contraceptive pills cause this as well.

Low Testosterone Levels in Women can also cause low libido.
Great information doc!!
Informative ❤
I'm 27 & have been taking finasteride for about 2 years. I've noticed that my desire for sex has dropped & it takes more effort for me to get going during sex but I don't have ED
stop taking finasteride, it did for years and regret it, research on the side effects from sources like reddit not medical sites
Thanks doc!
Gabapentin for neuropothy can be problematic... not for libido, but for function.. would love to know more about this... hint

Rena, are tu my sister?
I’d say my depression/anxiety is caused by lack of a sexual outlet.
How about for women? Is this whole video about men? I wanted my wife to see a video about this.
I thought it was beating the hell out of meat cause me to have a low drive🗿
Low libido is because they don't watch you.😁
I'm talking about your videos and wisdom in sexual health.😉
Lol the thumbnail frown, the good doctor’s husband better not say not tonight babe
I waited and waited but she's too.politically correct say that maybe your wife has gotten fat and unattractive, NO THAT COULDN'T BE THE PROBLEM.
What about low or no sex drive in women?
Sister/ Wife
Dr. why so many mens are gays now days ? is chemicals in waters ?
Yes birth control pills are messing up with the hormones of men and causing infertility is some women .
Probably hadn't changed, just more open about it.
People have been gay since the beginning of recorded history at the very least. It's just no longer legal to force people to hide their sexuality. Until relatively recently a man in the US could be fired from his job, evicted from his apartment and thrown in jail for being gay. That's excellent motivation to hide your sexuality.

It will take time for everyone to adjust to the new normal.
Probably because our modern day society encourages and rewards that type of behavior.
That's just plain ridiculous! There is no change in that number, there is just more news and media to make you aware of it.
