Where did my sex drive go?

Not a diagnosis: a head start. These are the three drivers most worth checking first, based on what the evidence says gets missed most often.

01

Testosterone, both sexes

Low T flattens drive in men and women. Total + free testosterone, morning sample.

02

Medication audit

SSRIs, some blood pressure drugs and hormonal contraception are common silent causes.

03

Energy budget

Exhaustion, stress and bad sleep mean libido is last in the queue. Fix upstream first.

Worth asking your GP about

Morning testosterone (total + SHBG), TSH, ferritin, prolactin
