Brief Answer: No correlation directly, And nobody notices 1 gm Detailed Answer: Thank you for asking Miss XXXXX! I am sorry for your loss of one adrenal gland but you still have the other. I have been going through your multiple queries regarding this adrenalectomy and i can feel that you have overwhelmed yourself with unnecessary thoughts.A hardly one gram adrenal gland over the tip of the kidney when not present is not something to be missed by coituses and sex differences. Adrenal gland is a player in game of hormones this body plays and it is responsible for steroid hormones, mineralocorticoid hormones and epinephrines. But good news is that you still have an other adrenal and they are compensating that. And sex drives and libidos are not controlled by adrenal glands. So stop worrying for some thing totally innocuous. I hope it helps. Dont forget to close the discussion please. S Khan

Brief Answer: Mentioned Detailed Answer: Thank you for asking! Libido is controlled by hormones no way connected to adrenal glands. Oxytocin and estrogen promotes it. Prolactin decreases that. To know about how this works, read this article of hormones poetry. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/820523 And relax. Life is too long to be wasted on useless thoughts. Dont worry about it. You are young and smart. You can do it. Take care and dont forget to close the discussion please. S Khan
