Can Hyperthyroid Cause Sexual Dysfunction?

Hi, I am a 31 years old male. I have recently felt really fatigue and weak for the past three months. I have never had any problems before that. I was very athlete and I usually went to bodybuilding gym three times a week and I had kept a athletic muscular body.

But since past 90 days I have begun to feel really weak and fatigue and I felt like all my muscles are gone. My muscles are cramped and they are hurting for no reason at night, without any reason. I could not go to the gym for the past 90 days and I got sick so often since that time. I began to develop insomnia and difficulty sleeping at night. I have lost all my libido, sexual desire, and I feel like my penis and my testicles are shrunk. I have bad mood swings and two months ago I had two or three very bad experience of sexual dysfunction with my girlfriend. I could not have sex because of that for the past three months because all of my sexual desire has gone.

I have taken a hormonal blood test and the result are as follows:

TSH : 4.67 mU/L 0.55 - 4.80
Free T3: 4.25 ng/L 2.30 - 4.20
Free T4: 14.1 ng/L 8.90 - 17.6

LH : 4.51 IU/L 1.50 - 9.30
FSH: 1.56 U/L 1.40 - 18.1
Prolactin : 11.9 ng/mL 4.60 - 21.4
Estradiol 17 : 30.3 ng/L 0.00 - 39.8
Total Testosterone: 4.58 ng/mL 2.02 - 7.92
SHBG: 24.8 nmol/L 17.0 - 66.0


The doctor says I have hyperthyroid. Could my sexual dysfunction and my complete loss of libido, and loss of muscle mass, and headache and insomnia be because of that?!!! I am really worried
Thanks for your help.
