When to Consult a Doctor Regarding Libido Issues

Schedule an appointment if your libido decreases significantly or persists for more than a few weeks. A sudden, dramatic change warrants immediate attention.

Seek medical advice if you experience:

Symptom Description
Persistent low libido Libido remains low despite lifestyle changes.
Erectile dysfunction Consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection.
Decreased sexual desire and erectile dysfunction concurrently Both symptoms present simultaneously. This combination often requires specialized medical evaluation.
Other physical symptoms Fatigue, weight changes, depression, or anxiety accompanying libido changes.

Consider consulting a doctor if lifestyle adjustments (diet, exercise, stress management) fail to improve your libido within a reasonable timeframe (usually several weeks). A physician can conduct a thorough evaluation, rule out underlying medical conditions, and discuss treatment options. Don’t hesitate to discuss your concerns openly and honestly with your healthcare provider.
