male 26.havin no/very low libido+ed.thyroid profile(tsh:7 micro iu/ml, t3:0.8 ng/ml, t4:6.45ncg/100ml).is thyroid the culprit?no other medical history.

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroid: Looks like you are hypothyroid which can cause some of the symptoms you describe. I would see your doctor to get this treated and see if the symptoms improve.  No other exotic labs needed unless the symptoms don't improve on thyroid replacement.

Question 2

i have subclinical hypothyroidism.tsh:7.03.t3, (liothyronine) t4 normal.can it cause low libido or e.d. ? because i am facing these peoblems for last one year.

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Fatigue and low libido can be a result of hypothyroidism.

Question 3

37yo f with tsh level 3.58. was told this is normal (reference value used was 0.61 - 4.23 iu/ml). experiencing weight gain, hair loss, low libido, tiredness, aches... attributed this to age. is this normal aging or hypothyroidism?

Accepted Answer

: There are other endocrine abnormalities that can cause symptoms as you describe besides hypothyroidism. You should see an endocrinologist and have other labs checked. An endocrinologist can check other hormone levels to determine the etiology of your symptoms. Good luck!

Question 4

31 year old male, family history of hypo, diagnosed adhd, 4.44 pg/ml ft3, 1.0 ng/ml ft4, 0.957 mciu/ml tsh constant weight loss despite increasing appetite, life long heat intolerance, decreased libido, hand tremors, high energy, increased body odor?

Accepted Answer

: You need a thoro physical and lab exam. Many illnesses eg thyroid can cause these symptoms. Pl see a good doc. Hope you feel better

Question 5

what could be causing excessive hair loss, extreme heat intolerance, low libido, jaw/cheek acne, & irregular periods? ive had tsh checked recently and it was normal?

Accepted Answer

: In addition to hyperthyroidism, other causes of heat intolerance include certain medications, stress&amp;anxiety,ovarian insufficiency. Hair loss can be from hormonal imbalance or hereditary factors. A dermatologist can advise you about hair loss and your acne. I assume you've consulted your gynecologist, also.

Question 6

is it possible to lower your libido?

Accepted Answer

Its possible but....: It's not realistic. Your libido is determined hormonally, particularly by androgens such as testosterone. Medications exist that lower androgens, such as those used in the treatment of prostate cancer, which will reduce or eliminate libido. Certain antidepressants (ssris) have sexual side effects, and can reduce desire. I would never recommend these agents just to control a natural libido.

Question 7

can porn lower your libido?

Accepted Answer

Altered perception: Watching pornography may affect your perception of what a normal sexual relationship is like, which may decrease your libido if your actual encounters do not live up to your altered expectations.

Question 8

how do i lower my tsh from 6?

Accepted Answer

Take more Synthroid (thyroxine): If you're following your tsh, i'm assuming that you have hypothyroidism on replacement therapy.  The number is opposite: if you are not on enough synthroid, (thyroxine) the TSH is high. If you are on too much synthroid, (thyroxine) the TSH is low. Look at the normal range for tsh. If you feel sluggish, cold, fat, or constipated; you may need an increase in your dose (or you may need to start thyroid replacement!).

Question 9

could a food decrease your tsh?

Accepted Answer

TSH: Tsh decreases in response to thyroid activity.  If you're exposed to foods which suppress your thyroid and then avoid them, your thyroid function could normalize -- making your TSH decrease too.  Some potentially problematic foods for thyroid include any containing bromine or bromates -- these can be found in breads, pesticides on fruits, soft drinks, etc. http://tinyurl.com/ntnqfpb.

Question 10

iodine 123 safe ? wont make my tsh level. lower ?

Accepted Answer

Famously safe: Iodine 123 for a scan is not only safe and unlikely to alter thyroid function even momentarily, but is a great way to reveal possible malignant or premalignant lesions in the thyroid gland itself.
