Accepted Answer

Female low libido: I would first recommend an appointment with the gynecologist to be checked out for physical causes and hormonal causes of low libido. Depression should also be ruled out. If the symptoms persist, there are specialized female sexual clinics in most large cities and university centers that specialize in low libido in women. This is a very underutilized subspecialty. Sex therapy may play a big role.

If you have fatigue and dizziness upon standing, your BP needs checked sitting to standing. This checks the sympathetic ns response. CBC to check for anemia. Gyn exam to discuss functioning during sex.If all checks out ok then psychological causes need to be explored.
