Lowering
Your Sex Drive
The
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism provides research
data showing that estradiol, the hormone in Provera, decreases
the libidos of female monkeys while it increases aggression and
anxiety. In contrast, progesterone, the naturally occurring form
of Provera, doesn't have these effects. Investigator Dr. Karen
Pazol suggests that physicians talk to women who're taking Provera
and who're concerned about their sex drives or susceptible to
mood disorders, and discuss other birth control options with them.
For those
women out there that have tried Provera, most certainly will appreciate
knowing that taking this drug may defeat the whole point as they
were not wanting to choose abstinence as a form of birth control,
and yet, with highly decreased sex drive that will be what ends
up happening!
