Dr. Eric Weisman answered

Specializes in Neurology

Loss of libido: can result from physical, hormonal and psychological conditions (or a combination) I would have a few things checked by your doctor (Testosterone level, thyroid function, blood sugar, kidney function, etc) and discuss the matter with a trusted professional. The psychological aspects may be involved and should be geared towards your specific situation and needs. You should ask to see a specialist.
