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:
| 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.
