Treatment
It happens to a lot of men, but few want to talk about it. Virility plays a big role in how we see manhood, and there's an idea you're supposed to live up to: "real men are always in the mood." That's not true. Lots of men have a low sex drive, for many reasons – and there are many ways to treat it.
Low libido is a noticeable, ongoing drop in sexual desire. It is different from erectile dysfunction – you can have a healthy erection and still have little interest in sex – although the two often occur together.
We are based in Sandton and consult with men across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Gauteng and the rest of South Africa by phone and WhatsApp.
Any number of things, some physical and some psychological – and sometimes both:
Treatment
No one thing causes low libido, so treatment depends on the cause. Erection medicines such as Viagra or Cialis don't boost libido – they help you get and keep an erection – which is why we look at the whole picture.
At Men's Clinic South Africa we use natural, organic products. Please discuss any medication or condition with us first. Every treatment plan starts with a confidential consultation. You can speak to us by phone or WhatsApp from anywhere in South Africa, or visit our Sandton clinic.
Healthier lifestyle choices – diet, regular exercise, enough sleep, less alcohol and lower stress
Reviewing medication that may be affecting your libido
Natural hormone support to address low testosterone
Counselling where the cause is psychological or relational
