A hormone imbalance or hormone deficiency can have a significant impact on your physical, mental, and sexual health and wellness. The symptoms of low hormones can range from fatigue and weight gain to depression, low libido, and anxiety.
At WildBerryMD, we offer comprehensive female and male hormone testing to determine if you have a hormone deficiency, hormone imbalance, or an underlying health condition that is affecting your body’s hormone levels.
We also take the time to get to know you and understand how your symptoms are affecting your health and lifestyle. We can then design a personalized hormone therapy program that improves your body’s functions, relieves symptoms, and enhances your physical, mental, and sexual health.
How Do Hormones Influence Libido and Sexual Health?
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol can influence libido and sexual health in men and women. When estrogen levels are higher than normal in women, they may experience increased sexual desire and vaginal lubrication.
When estrogen levels are lower, they may experience vaginal dryness, discomfort during sex, and decreased interest in sex.
Higher levels of progesterone in women can decrease sexual desire, and low levels of testosterone in men can decrease sex drive and sexual performance and increase the risk of erectile dysfunction.
High cortisol levels can also affect sexual behavior. Chronic stress can increase cortisol levels in men and women and decrease sexual desire and sexual performance.
How Does Sexual Desire Change Through Life Stages?
Your hormone levels change throughout your life, which can affect your sexual desire. For men, testosterone levels peak around the age of 18, which means that men typically reach the height of their sexual desire and performance around that age.
Testosterone levels begin to decline in their 30s, which can cause decreased sexual desire and an increased risk of erectile dysfunction and depression. For women, fertility begins to decrease in their late 20s. However, sexual desire typically increases through their 20s and 30s.
Estrogen and testosterone levels decrease in perimenopause and menopause in their 40s and 50s, and sexual appetite may decline significantly during that time.
How Can Hormone Therapy Improve Confidence and Sexual Health?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can improve confidence and sexual health by addressing hormonal imbalances that are influencing sexual desire, libido, physical and mental health, and energy levels.
BHRT can reduce or eliminate symptoms like decreased energy, mood swings, erectile dysfunction, vaginal dryness, and low self esteem.
