Posted on Mon, 28 May 2012
Question: Hello! I'm a 21 year old male from Norway. I am 196 cm tall and my weight is 85 kg. The last evenings in the past 2 weeks I have been feeling very tired and have had a total lack of energy in the evenings. I have some symptoms of erectile dysfunction and my libido has almost totally diminished. I am an overall healthy person who is physical active and eat a lot of health food. I sleep 8-9 hours every night so that is not the problem. What do you think is causing this? Lack or iron or testosterone defiency? I have also had some problems with my stomach and I am not eating so much food in the evenings.

Thanks for the query.     

In a young man with good health and habits history of lack or loss of energy for the last two weeks along with feeling very tired and inability to eat in the evening suggests some sub-clinical ,mild infection .

It suggest low grade infection either bacterial or viral. Chances of lack of Iron or testosterone is quite less.

Erectile dysfunction and loss of libido is temporary and is due to lack of energy.

Some routine investigation may help to find the cause.

Hello
Nice to see you again
     
As you are a known case thoracic scoliosis along with hypokyphosis ,in such a situation one becomes more prone to mild ,low grade ,sub clinical infection which is either bacterial or viral.

Bacterial infection is more common than viral.

Any organ or body system may be involved,to find the organs or system involved one needs or requires detailed clinical examination & investigation.

To be more specific investigation report along with clinical findings are desirable.
