Changes in libido can affect men and women in different ways. Understanding the underlying cause can help your health care provider treat you and get you back to yourself.

Stress – If you are stressed, sex is the last thing in your mind. List down all the things that stress you and look for ways to cope with them so you can find time for intimacy. 

Birth control – Taking a contraceptive pill can reduce the amount of testosterone which is responsible for sex drive. If it’s affecting your libido, talk to your health care provider about different birth control options.
