Avatar m tn I believe that just as high doses of synthetic progesterone derivatives can lower libido, so can low levels of natural progesterone. Natural progesterone can have a calming effect on the nervous system and may help those men who are "rapid ejaculators" or have other anxiety related sexual problems. Restoring or pulsing progesterone may enhance libido, and sexual function.
Avatar m tn if my levels are good, should my libido be as well? And should I start worrying about something else instead.. If I had learned that there was only 0,000001% chance for me to permanently loose my libido when taking this, I would of course NEVER have touched it! Is this a renown great pharmaseutical scam that everyone should know about?..
Avatar n tn over a period of 7 months, continually declining sex drive, ED (often), fatigue, "brain fog," malaise, hot flashes, difficulty exercising. I also seem to be losing weight/muscle mass and have very strange feeling of emptiness in testes. I am 37, very little body fat, and was otherwise pretty healthy. These are my blood test results: cortisol am 337 nmol/L (138-650) oestradiol 153 pmol/:L (<160) Testosterone (roche method): 29.9 nmol/L (10.0 - 28.
Avatar n tn i would get hormone levels checked. very often low libido is caused by hormone issues especially low testosterone even in women. an endocrinologist is a good resource as is a good obgyn.
Avatar m tn Hi Everyone, I'm 41 male with history of hypertension. My BP stays around 170/100. Highest was recorded 176/110. I have been on Telmisartan 40mg for few weeks but it killed my sex drive entirely. I stopped taking it & gradually recovered from low libido. Also i've noticed a general decline in libido & an onset of ED after i crossed age 40. Now my libido is not that strong as it used to be 4 years back even without medicine.
Avatar f tn Since TSH is a pituitary hormone that is only a signal to the thyroid glands to increase/decrease thyroid hormone output, TSH is inadequate as a diagnostic for thyroid problems. At best it is an indicator to be considered along with more important indicators such as symptoms, along with the levels of the actual, biologically active thyroid hormones which are free T3 and free T4.
Avatar f tn Of the most common causes, high prolactin level and issues with thyroid functions can lead to loss of libido. Taking proper medicines to correct these levels will improve your condition.
Avatar n tn People have different levels of libido. To some extent it's caused by the levels of hormones in your body, but there are probably other factors. I'm sure it helps to have a partner at a similar level to you - it's a shame that two of your past relationships this has not been the case, I'm sure there are plenty of men who would be delighted to have a relationship with someone who is as up for it as much as you are. Are you in a relationship right now?
Avatar m tn Could be that even on Synthroid for 6 years, your thyroid hormone levels are not adequate. If your doctor diagnoses and medicates you based on TSH alone, that doesn't work. TSH is a pituitary hormone that is affected by so many variables that at best it should be considered as an indicator, to be considered along with more important indicators such as symptoms, and also the biologically active thyroid hormones, free T3 and free T4 (not the same as total T3 and total T4).
Avatar m tn Hi, I will only share some thoughts I have about your case. First of all, assuming your present hormone levels are as per your body's natural range, the issues what you are having may be simply psychological aftermath of your stressful married life which ended in a divorce. Try cooling your mind by meditation, yoga, social interaction etc. and I hope would get normal. By the way do you have children from your marriage and are you still worried about them?
Avatar m tn Those issues would not arise as long as thyroid hormone levels are kept optimal.
6322039 tn?1380727998 t too bad, but the headaches, dizziness and occasional weakness were miserable, not to mention no libido and no patience. I am also a hypothyroid patient too, which doesn't help the situation any since many of the symptoms can be interchangeable. Anyway, I was started on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy almost one month ago, using an Estradiol patch, Estriol suppositories and progesterone orally.
Avatar n tn till I got really tired of this situation and consulted my doctor about it. I had a hormone test and my Testostrone levels were Testosterone 393 ng/DL and my Prolactin 354. My doctor prescribed Testosterone shots ever 40 days. After the first two injections I felt a difference in my libido.... But there is a problem, every time I get a shot I start to feel extremely weak and develop a fever that lasts for days or even a week. I get chills and feel awfully down.
Avatar m tn On the hormone front, may be you should do a complete hormone check up including estrogen level,thyroid, and adrenal hormones. Other things to be checked are blood sugar and blood pressure. For your brain related complaints you may consult a neurologist, especially if hormone tests do not provide any clue.It is really unfortunate that doctors simply terminate their diagnosis with out finding a solution to the patient's problems.
Avatar m tn Hi, i'm a very healthy 19 year old women and ive been experiencing very low libido, or actually, no libido at all and i'm not sure what could be the cause especially since i am so young. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 6 years ago and immediately started 100 mg of Synthroid, and before i was on the medication i had a sex drive. I'm not sure what is going on, if synthroid could be the cause ( even tho my TSH levels are normal) OR the fact that i am really low on iron?
Avatar m tn I have an answer, I have checked levels of my hormones BEFORE period when my libido is high - this is what I have discovered: Estradiol 1414 pmol/l -2 times higher than it should be!!!! Progesterone 81,6 pmol/l - within range (I have also constantly heightened Testosterone level.) It appears that levels of my hormones before period-in Luteal Phase, show a pattern, that is characteristic for another Phase- Ovulation, (which sounds logical while explaining why I am aroused :) ).
Avatar f tn Have you heard of Vagifem? It's a non-systemic hormone that is just used vaginally, not a pill, or a systemic estrogen. For years after having a complete hysterectomy, I was on a gel, Estragel or something like that, where you rubbed the gel on your arm. I was told it was safer than an oral estrogen or shots or patches because it didn't have to pass as much drugs through the liver.
1319991 tn?1274357816 48yr old male on hormone replacement therapy for over 10yrs. Being seen for extreme fatigue, loss of concentration, recent ED issues. Blood test exceptions show higher RBC & higher Fe levels as well as low FreeT levels at end of injection cycle. Dr. is considering shortening time between injections from 10 to 7 days or raising dosage from 0.5cc to 0.7cc but concerned about a possible increase to RBC count.

Avatar n tn I am not an expert, but I can suggest several things you may want to talk to your doctor about. 1)Hormone Levels- they may check for free testostorone and total testesterone. They may check for other hormonal imbalances. 2)Depression/Anxiety- this is what created both a decrease in libido in my situation. The SSRI drugs actually helped me reduce some of these symptoms, but I am still not ruling out any hormonal issues.
