Brief Answer:
Your current thyroid report is normal, rpovide more information

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Many persons with hypothyroid suffers from lack of sexual desire. However with treatment your current thyroid report is normal.

I need some information to help you better.

- You should be evaluated for blood pressure, diabetes and serum testosterone level.
- If you have any stress or depression symptoms let me know.
- Since when do you have problem of low sex desire?
- Are you married or not?

For a while I would recommend following medicines.

You can use medicine cum vitamin supplement containing pyridoxal-5-phosphate, mecobalamin and l-methylfolate (trade name tetrafol plus)is very helpful in my patients. You should take it after meal twice a day. If you feel some improvement in 15 days you should continue for at least 2 month. You may get this medicine over the counter as it is vitamin product.

As you are form XXXXXXX I would like to also mention ayurvedic medicine option. Tentex forte is the medicine which is used for sex related problem. No side effects have been reported. One tablets daily at night with a cup of milk should be taken for 4 weeks.

You can start both medicines.

Revert back to me with required details.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Brief Answer:
Ok then start medicnes I mentioned

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr. Krunal,

Thanks for information.

There is no significant reason behind your problem. Hypothyroid and routine stress of life likely the reasons.

Start medicines I mentioned. In my opinion medicines will work. If no significant improvement after 1 month by chance, detail evaluation by a psychiatrist/sexologist is needed.

All the best and take care.
