Decreased Sex Drive
Decreased sex drive in women is commonly attributed to a hormonal imbalance between progesterone, estrogen and testosterone. These three hormones work together to regulate many aspects of the female body, from menstruation and fertility to sex drive and maintaining healthy body weight.
When progesterone is low, it can lead to an increase in estrogen or testosterone. In turn, this can lead women to feel poorly overall and can lead to decreased sexual desire.
