Midi offers many effective treatment options for low libido, and clinicians take your symptoms and health history into account when determining which is best for you. Treatments include:
- Counseling If relationship issues are affecting libido, counseling or sex therapy may help improve communication between you and your partner.
- Non-hormonal medications These include flibanserin (Addyi), bremelanotide (Vyleesi), and sildenafil citrate (Viagra).
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) HRT delivers estrogen through pills, patches, and other formulations and circulates throughout your body to address multiple menopause symptoms that may effect libido, including vaginal dryness and pain with sex.
- Testosterone treatment If a low libido is distressing or interfering with a patient’s quality of life, then testosterone may be recommended.
- Mental health medications Low doses of antidepressant bupropion (Wellbutrin) may help improve sexual desire.
- Supplements Maca may have several benefits for treating menopause symptoms, including supporting libido.
