3 Types of Doctors Who Can Treat Your Low Sex Drive

2. Sexual medicine doctors
These professionals describe their job as detective work. For example, what at first may appear to be low sex drive may turn out to be related to erectile dysfunction.

Often people wait a long time before seeking medical care for a sexual problem—either because they are embarrassed or because they are not taking it seriously—and that can compound the issue, even when it stems from a physical problem that has a straightforward, physical solution. "By the time you talk to someone [about your physical problem], the pain is also in your head," says Dr. Green.

3. Therapists
Your regular doctor or your sexual medicine doctor may refer you to a therapist of some kind to explore psychological reasons for your sex drive problems. Relationship issues can cause libido problems—as can a whole host of personal or cultural factors—and a referral to a couples counselor or sex therapist may be in order.
