In our latest episode of MTP, Dr. Alfie explains an increasingly common concern expressed by patients: low libido following GLP-1 medication. GLP-1 is a key and often life saving form of treatment in patients with diabetes or high heart disease risk.
Unfortunately, the quieting of the reward sensation of the brain, which can curb appetites for food, can also decrease sexual desire. This can represent a troubling issue for otherwise healthy patients who are regaining their confidence and physical abilities due to losing weight.
It’s important for patients to know that there are treatment options available at Perito Urology and the UroFill® Clinic that can help to restore and enhance libido in concert with GLP-1 therapy.
If you think your libido is diminished by GLP-1 treatment, contact us today to learn about your options.
