Loss of lipido
Loss of libido in men is commonly caused by low testosterone, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and lifestyle factors such as excessive alcohol, smoking, or poor sleep. Physical conditions like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and side effects from medications (e.g., antidepressants) also contribute to a decreased sex drive.
