Low Libido Treatment
Low Libido in Women
Expert Assessment and Treatment in London from Experienced Consultant Gynaecologists
Low libido, or a reduced interest in sex, is a common concern that can affect women of all ages. While changes in sexual desire are normal and may occur at different stages of life, persistent low libido can have a significant impact on emotional wellbeing, self-confidence, intimate relationships, and overall quality of life. Although many women feel uncomfortable discussing these symptoms, low libido is a recognised medical concern and effective treatment is available.
At Gynaecology Clinic London, our experienced consultant gynaecologists provide expert assessment and treatment in a professional, supportive, and discreet environment. We understand that low libido can result from a combination of physical, hormonal, emotional, and lifestyle factors, and we are committed to providing compassionate care and personalised treatment tailored to your individual needs and circumstances.
Whether your symptoms are recent, have developed gradually, or are affecting your confidence, relationships, or overall wellbeing, our specialists provide prompt access to expert advice, comprehensive investigations, and effective treatment options. Our aim is to identify the underlying cause, restore your sexual wellbeing, and help you regain confidence and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is low libido normal?
Changes in sexual desire are common and can occur at different stages of life. However, persistent low libido that is causing distress or affecting your relationships and quality of life should not be ignored and may benefit from specialist assessment.
Can low libido improve with treatment?
Yes. Effective treatment is available for many women. Management is tailored to the underlying cause and may help improve sexual wellbeing, confidence, and intimacy.
Can the menopause affect sexual desire?
Yes. Hormonal changes during the menopause are a common cause of low libido and may also be associated with vaginal dryness, pain during sex, sleep disturbances, and mood changes.
Can stress and emotional wellbeing affect libido?
Yes. Stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and relationship difficulties can all influence sexual desire. Identifying and addressing these factors can often help improve symptoms.
Will I need any tests?
Depending on your symptoms, investigations may include hormone blood tests, thyroid function tests, pelvic ultrasound scans, or other tests where appropriate. Your consultant will recommend the most appropriate investigations for your individual circumstances.
Is testosterone therapy suitable for women?
Testosterone therapy may be beneficial for some women, particularly after menopause. Your consultant will discuss whether this treatment is appropriate based on your symptoms, medical history, and hormone profile.
Can low libido affect relationships?
Yes. Persistent changes in sexual desire can affect confidence, intimacy, and emotional wellbeing. Seeking advice and treatment can often help improve quality of life and strengthen relationships.
Are these symptoms simply part of getting older?
Not necessarily. Although hormonal changes associated with ageing can affect sexual desire, many underlying causes are treatable, and women should not feel that they have to simply live with these symptoms.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. Many women choose to self-refer for private assessment. Referrals from GPs and other healthcare professionals are also welcome, and appointments can usually be arranged promptly.
How quickly can I be seen?
We provide fast access to consultations and investigations, helping women receive expert advice, timely answers, and effective treatment without unnecessary delays.
