I suffer from loss of libido for about ten years. I also suffer from hypothyroidism which was detected in 2011. My TSH level is under permissible limit of 5 as I have been taking eltroxin 50 mcg. My testosterone level when last tested 4 months back was at 324. Besides loss of libido I am also not able to sustain erection till the time it must remain erect and firm. I am also taking thyropace 500 mg since last 4 month and folizorb plus since last 20 days. Please suggest.

From a lack of sleep to having too much to drink, low libido is caused by a number of physiological, emotional, and lifestyle factors. Here are common issues that can ruin the mood. 1. Stress. The body reacts to stress by releasing adrenaline and cortisol. Chronic stress, in particular, can interfere with your body?s hormone levels, and result in a low libido. The arteries can also narrow and restrict blood flow in response to stress, which can also lead to erectile dysfunction. Stress can also reduce your libido by distracting you and taking your mind off sexual desire. 2. Depression. Libido and depression share a complicated link. 3. Low Self-Esteem. It's hard to feel sexy when your self-confidence is down or when you have an unhealthy body image. 4.Alcohol or Drug Use. While a little alcohol can help lower inhibitions, too much can impair your nervous system and lead to fatigue ? making it difficult to become aroused. Other drugs can decrease your sex drive as well. 5. Lack of Sleep. A good night's rest might be hard to come by, but you need sleep to keep a sharp mind, a healthy body, and an active libido. 6.Erectile Dysfunction. Low libido is a common emotional side effect of ED. 7.Hormone Imbalance. Libido is directly influenced by testosterone levels. Therefore, low libido is often caused by low testosterone levels INCASE YOU REQUIRE FURTHER HELP PLEASE CONTACT ME.
