Is a low libido linked to fertility hormones?
Low libido is linked to lowered fertility in women ... and not just for the obvious reason! Do you suffer from diminished desire, difficulty in arousal, and inability to achieve orgasm? If so, these are hallmarks of low libido and if the underlying causes are left untreated, it can lead to lowered fertility and leave you feeling a little ripped off.
An estimated 43-56% of all women experience this problem over their lifetimes. Once thought to occur mostly in women who had gone through menopause, it now seems to happen primarily to women in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
Major contributors are; psychological issues, stress, relationship difficulties, and medical problems such as depression. It can also be a sign of aging, too much exercise or too little, hormonal imbalances including:

Many common prescription medications, including antidepressants, blood pressure drugs, and even birth control pills can affect sexual drive as well.
