Experts have raised an alarm about a bizarre side effect that can be activated by slimming Jabs: a drop in sex drive.
Once aimed at diabetes patients, medicines such as Mounjaro and Wegovy are now famous to quickly achieve weight loss by reducing the appetite – but it also seems that they also lose the libidos of some users.
The side effects of the injections have been discussed on a large scale, ranging from nausea and constipation and, in the most serious cases, life -threatening organ damage.
Now top psychologists have warned that the drug can cause users’ libidos to fall due to the influence of a certain chemical of the brain.
That is the care of JAB users, who have passed hundreds with online forums who share how the drugs have changed their sex -robe and others warned that it was the ‘price they paid for are no longer fat’.
The injections track weight loss by simulating the actions of a hormone released after eating in the intestine-GLP-GLP-1.
In addition to telling the pancreas to make more insulin, GLP-1 feeds back to the brain and ensures that we feel full of patients with too much food.
According to Professor Rachel Goldman, a clinical pyschologist at New York University, GLP-1 drugs focus on ‘The Reward Center in the Brain’, and therefore people experience less food noise, less desire and less interest in alcohol consumption ‘.
Top psychologists have warned that the medicine can lead to libido falling because of how it affects a certain chemical of the brain
She told Purewow: “It is also the reason why what can influence your sex station.”
Dr. Kent Berridge, a professor in psychology and neuroscience at the University of Michigan, also told MailOnline earlier that having sex with a partner, thinking to have sex with them and see them normally causing sexual desire, “just as drug use desire triggers for drugs.”
‘But if you suppress [dopamine activation] A bit and reducing those mountain tops, sexual desire is a natural peak, so that would be likely.
‘Now, how is that going? How suppressed dopamine systems? That we don’t know, “said Dr. Berridge.
‘It can work partially on the Nucleus Accumbens [the brain structure known for its role in pleasure, reward and addiction]Because there are receptors. ‘
A British study published last year QJM: An International Journal of Medicine Found new patients in the drug can experience cognitive changes in their decision-making, partly of the calorie shortage that induces the medicine, as well as the effects of GLP-1 on brain function.
“This is not far as it may sound,” the researchers said.
Another study from 2024 also suggested that obese men who took Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, run a slightly higher risk of erectile dysfunction than men with obesity who did not take the medicine.
The researchers discovered that women between 20 and 59 who had sex less than once a week had an increased risk of death within five years
However, they added that further research must be done to understand ‘possible underlying biological paths that result in side effects of sexual dysfunction’.
But the phenomenon has become so common that forum users even share how the medicines have lowered their libido.
In one reddit forum with more than 142,000 members, a user said: ‘Before we started Mounjaro, we had a low but regular sex life, which was male delayed by both of us that we did not feel comfortable with our body.
‘Since Mounjaro we have developed in different directions: I feel at ease with my body and sexy the first time in my life and I am really always horny, while my wife has no sex drive at all – although she looks great.
“She says she feels like she doesn’t want sex at all since taking Mounjaro. So is the price for no longer thick, the end of an active sex life? ‘
Another wrote: ‘Someone else has a completely exhausted sex station?
“Since I have been to Mounjaro now – second month – I have noticed that it doesn’t matter what I really don’t feel.”
A third added: ‘I have been to Tirzepatide [the ingredient behind Mounjaro] Since February and I definitely have a much lower sexual drive than before.
“It’s really a shame because I now have much more confident in my body, but in general just no desire to do anything.”
According to Professor Goldman, however, the medicines cannot immediately be the cause of the new cause of friction in relationships.
Instead, it is probably due to weight loss in general, which is ‘nothing new’, she said.
A Swedish study of 2018 from patients after bariatric surgery discovered that patients who were married who were married were 41 percent more likely to divorce, compared to people in the general population.
Quick weight loss can influence the hormone balance, as well as a limited diet, by reducing quantities of essential sex hormones testosterone and estrogen.
It is thought that at least half a million NHS patients and around 15 million patients in the US are now thought that they use weight loss Jabs, which can help patients to lose up to 20 percent of their body weight in just a few months.
And the figures they use privately are even higher.
The Health Service currently prescribes WeGOVY to around 35,000 patients at specialized clinics for weight control.
Mounjaro has since been available since March in comparable clinics and from this month GPS can also prescribe it.
The drug warning also comes among concern about a worldwide sex crisis – or rather, lack of sex crisis.
A recent study showed that more than a quarter (27 percent) of the British now have less sex than in the past, with one in six admitted that they are not froskey all year round.
According to a poll by the Royal College or ergotherapists of 2,000 adults Last year, men and women usually only have sex 46 times a year – once every eight days.
But some have much less frequent amorous activity, with a tenth report that has sex less than once a year.
Last month, researchers from the University of Manchester also revealed women who have sex at least once a week, happiest in their relationships.
Their studies showed that 85 percent of women who had sex once a week described themselves as ‘sexually satisfied’.
On the other hand, only 17 percent of women who had sex less than once a month reported the same level of promotional.
Sex and intimacy are linked to various health benefits, including improving the condition of your heart, reducing stress and strengthening mental health.
