Verminderd seksueel verlangen binnen Seksuele gezondheid.🇦🇹

Low sexual desire is a persistent or recurrent lack of interest in sexual activity that causes personal distress or relationship difficulties. It is not a preference or a passing phase but a pattern that concerns the person experiencing it.

It can affect both men and women and has multiple causes — from hormonal factors (low testosterone, menopause, postpartum) to psychological ones (stress, depression, relationship issues) or as a side effect of medication.

A medical assessment helps identify contributing factors and distinguish whether low desire stems from an organic cause, an emotional one, or a combination of both, which guides the most appropriate approach.
