Hormone supplementation often improves
libido when hormone levels are the cause for its
decline. Treating health conditions that may cause
low libido, or changing medications that can affect
libido, is sometimes all the treatment that is neces-
sary. Libido also often has significant emotional
and psychologic components. Treatment for low
libido depends on its identifiable causes.
