Patient's question:
After half a year of ovarian cyst surgery, I haven't had normal psychological and physiological needs. Is this considered lack of libido? Is it related to estrogen levels in the body?Doctor's answer:
(1) Emotion When a person is in a bad mood, their libido can easily decrease temporarily. Especially under extremely negative states such as profound sadness, terror, depression, and despair, sexual desire can be significantly affected, and in severe cases, it may even be completely lost.(2) Nutrition Nutrition is the material foundation of sexual activity.
(3) Smoking and Alcoholism Long-term heavy smoking is more likely to cause impotence compared to non-smokers. Chronic alcoholism can lead to a decline in sexual function and a decrease in libido.
(4) Medication Long-term or excessive use of certain medications can impair sexual function, and in some cases, it may even cause male impotence or female sexual indifference.
(5) Living Conditions Living in a messy, poorly ventilated, or overly crowded environment can not only cause bad moods but also lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain due to a lack of fresh air, thereby affecting sexual function and reducing libido.
(6) Season and Temperature Surveys have shown that during the cooler winter and spring seasons, most people experience stronger libido, with spring particularly considered the season for romance. However, during the sweltering summer, sexual desire often temporarily decreases.
(7) Age Age is a significant factor affecting libido.
(8) Triggers and Sexual History The occurrence of libido is influenced not only by internal factors and the effects of sex hormones but also by external stimuli.
(9) Emotion Humans differ from other animals in that sexual desire is not solely a biological instinct but is often triggered by love.
(10) Health Status The impact of health status on libido is both important and complex. This is because only those who are physically and mentally healthy can maintain a high level of libido over the long term.
(11) Physiological Cycle.
