Sex Drive Dampened by Birth Control |
|
|
If you are having decreased sex drive while on birth control, this is common. The estrogen increases the SHBG (protein that carries around hormones in your blood) and therefore your free testosterone is decreased. Testosterone is what helps to give women a sex drive. Adding DHEA supplements can help to increase the desire. some of the DHEA is converted to testosterone. See our "Lust for Life" DHEA and gingko supplement. For more information, please feel free to make a consultation appointment. Other non-hormonal methods of birth control (diaphragm, Essure) or the Mirena IUD are options which will NOT decrease sex drive.
