A member asked:
Please tell me, could birth control pills increase sex drive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Birth control pills contain hormones which can effect the sex drive and can increase or decrease it depending on the exact formulation. The first step, if your sex drive is not what you feel it should be, is to see your doctor and try to find the reason for the problem.
