Chronic Increased Libido

by Alike Medical Team ∙ Updated on June 13, 2023

General

Increased libido is an increased sexual desire or sex drive. Each person’s libido is influenced by social, psychological and biological factors. As there is no normal libido, increased libido is hard to define, and it is different for each person. An increased libido could be harmful in cases of incontrolable sexual activity, such as in sexual compulsion. It could be caused due to neurotransmitter imbalance, medications, and conditions such as epilepsy or dementia.
