Using the DUTCH Hormone Test to Increase Your Sex Drive

, , , ,

Libido, or sex drive, is our overall desire for sexual activity. Decreased libido is a common problem that affects many women at some point in their lives and is often linked to changes in hormones, especially those that occur with menopause (1).

Causes of Low Sex Drive

A low sex drive can be caused by a variety of biological, physical and psychological factors such as stress, medical problems and changes in hormones. Though it’s not an inevitable part of aging, low libido is a common result of lower sex hormone levels (estrogen and testosterone) that occur just before, during, and after menopause. (2)

These hormonal changes make it more difficult to get aroused, cause vaginal dryness and mood changes, and often lead to hot flashes and weight gain which can make sex less comfortable and desirable. (3)
