How To Improve A Fizzling Sex Drive

If a waning sex drive is affecting your happiness, self-esteem or relationship, take action and find out what's causing it.
  1. Get a checkup. Some undiagnosed health problems, including hypothyroidism and depression, can contribute to a low libido.
  2. Discuss your medications with your doctor. Certain medications are known to diminish libido in women.
  3. Make time for sex. Many women do not prioritize a healthy sex life over other daily concerns. Make an effort to change this by creating time to enjoy sexual experiences.
  4. Embrace your own beauty. Low self-esteem leads to a low libido. Ignore the unattainable portrayal of women by the media and love yourself the way you are.
  5. Don't be embarrassed. Discussing libido concerns with a healthcare professional is the first step in finding a personalized solution to a common problem.
  6. Consider hormonal testing. This practice helps diagnose the causes of a low libido and suggests a remedy plan that might include vitamin, herbal or hormonal supplementation.
  7. Try biofeedback therapy. This approach helps you recognize responses to certain negative stimuli. Biofeedback is an important part of battling a low libido, and up to 70 percent of all sexual dysfunction issues can be resolved through this therapy.
