Why do I have a low libido, and are there ways to correct it?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Your symptoms are common in young men who masturbate early in life. The probable causes are hormonal imbalance and distorted signaling between the brain and the genital region. The probable diagnosis in your case is erectile dysfunction.

I would suggest you try reset therapy. That means lowering your testosterone and regulating the nerve communication between the brain and genitals with the hope that after three to five years, there will be a strong rebound effect when the therapy slowly ends. Another option would be to see an endocrinologist and get tested for many different hormones. Also, I suggest the following treatment plan;

1. Tablet Dutasteride (a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor) 0.5 milligrams, once per day.

2. Tablet Estradiol-Valerate (an estradiol prodrug) 2 milligrams, once per day.

3. Tablet Clomipramine (a tricyclic antidepressant) 50 milligrams, three times per day.

I suggest you take it for three to five years, then taper it down to 10 % per month.

You must have a complete physical and laboratory examination every twelve months to monitor your general health and walk a lot to prevent blood clots, a rare side effect. If you have a history of blood clots, do not take this medication.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
