Hormonal birth control is incredibly effective at preventing pregnancy, but it can also contribute to some unwanted side effects, including decreased libido. You might generally agree that the benefits of birth control — namely, preventing pregnancy — outweigh a potential decrease in libido.
Additionally, which birth control least affects libido?
For instance, progestin-only birth control pills (a.k.a. the mini pill) do not affect androgen levels and thus have a lower chance of decreasing libido compared to combination birth control pills.
Similarly one may ask, why do I have low libido? Any number of things, some physical and some psychological. Sometimes it’s both. Physical issues that can cause low libido include low testosterone, prescription medicines, too little or too much exercise, and alcohol and drug use. Psychological issues can include depression, stress, and problems in your relationship.
