A new study confirms that the contraceptive pill could reduce libido. Women who use hormonal contraceptives such as pills or patches are more likely to have symptoms such as decreased sexual desire and decreased sexual arousal than those who use non-hormonal methods of contraception or n ‘ to use none, according to this German study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

Lisa-Maria Wallwiener University of Heidelberg and his colleagues conducted the study with 1,000 young women medical students.

Those who used non-hormonal methods of contraception were those who felt the least sexual difficulties. The analysis shows that this association was independent of other factors that may affect sexuality.

The study establishes a link between hormonal contraception and sexual dysfunctions and does not prove that the link is causal. The biological mechanisms that may explain this link are unclear, says Alfred W. Mueck, co.

Hormonal contraception decreases blood levels of testosterone available and, although it is still uncertain, it is considered that testosterone plays a role in libido in women, says Kim Wallen of Emory University. The latter notes that a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1978 showed that women taking the pill did not experience the normal increase in the motivation for sex hormone midcycle. But since the issue has been under-studied and the results of studies inconsistent.
