Improve Libido & Vigor
Libido refers to having sexual desire. It is more common in females than in males. Over 40% of women report having a lack of sex drive, in comparison to the 30% of men that complain of sexual dysfunction. Low libido affects the frequency of sexual thoughts, your reluctance to engage in sex, and the decrease in arousal and climax time. However, female libido encompasses more than just becoming aroused and maintaining that feeling of an orgasm. The term libido does not begin to characterize how it relates to women's bodies. Aside from nature of sex, low libido also affects your hormones, emotions, and psychology. Without a proper balance of these elements, women cannot become aroused in the first place, let alone reach an orgasm.
Causes for Low Libido & Vigor
Sexual desires naturally change over the years. The drive for sex is based on the interaction of many components affecting intimacy, such as physical well-being, emotional well-being, experiences, lifestyle, and current relationship. Problems that arise in these areas may affect your sexual drive. However, there may be a medical reason affecting your libido and vigor, mainly:
Hormonal Imbalances
- Male Andropause - Low sex drive in males is a direct correlation to andropause. Reduced levels of testosterone can affect erectile function and can have a strong effect on the sexual desire in men. The sex drive process begins with the release of testosterone which triggers the brain's receptors to release nitric oxide, which relaxes the penis' muscles and allows the blood to flow into an erection. Low levels of testosterone make this process deficient, and in-adequate, resulting in a low sex drive in men.
- Female Menopause - During the transition to menopause, estrogen levels drop - which can also cause decreased sexual drive, dryer vaginal tissues, and lastly, a reduction in sexual desire. These symptoms can also lead to painful or uncomfortable sex. There are women, however, that continue to enjoy sex during menopause, while some women experience lagging libido.
How Can My Weight Doctor® Help?
As the body ages, several physical changes occur. The traditional mindset of aging believes that hormones naturally decline as a result of the aging process. My Weight Doctor can help by balancing your hormone levels back to their natural state through bio-identical hormone therapies.
Natural or Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), is the art and science of restoring balance to decrease the unpleasant symptoms and treat diseases caused by hormone imbalances.
Bio-Identical Hormones such as: Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone contain the same structure as the hormones produced naturally by the human body. Specialized testing is performed to pinpoint which specific hormones are out of balance. Based on the test results and the symptoms, an individualized treatment regimen is determined utilizing bio-identical hormones.
This is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach to restoring balance. It is as individual as you are. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has been shown in many studies to greatly improve libido and vigor in men and women. This therapy can raise your hormones back to their natural state. The potential uses and applications of BHRT include, but are not limited to increased stamina and energy.
The My Weight Doctor® Advantage
Medicine is not always the answer to treating sexual desire, but it can help!
- Treating the cause. The first step to treating low sex drive is to identify the underlying cause, or medical condition, by identifying the symptoms. If a medical condition is causing these symptoms, then modifying your current medication, or beginning a new medication for an undetected condition may be the solution.
- Testosterone therapy. Although testosterone occurs more in men than women, this hormone plays a major role in sexual function in both sexes. Additional benefits such as increased muscle and bone strength can be attributed to testosterone therapy.
- Estrogen therapy. By systemically using a patch, pill, or gel, brain and mood function can be positively affected towards sexual response. For localized estrogen therapy, vaginal cream can assist in blood flow to the vagina, helping to improve a female's sexual desire. In some cases, the combination of progesterone and estrogen could be prescribed for added benefits.
A complete program of anti-aging therapy consists of hormone therapy in conjunction with diet planning, exercise regimes, and lifestyle modifications. Without the combination of these elements, your body will not respond to its maximum potential even with a proper diet and exercise regime. As your nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle improves, My Weight Doctor will have you feeling like your old self with increased energy, vigor, and results!
