Hi doctor,

I have an issue with my sexual performance. I masturbate frequently and I am not getting sexual arousal nowadays. I have hypothyroidism with low sperm count and volume.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you have hypoactive thyroid, you need to investigate TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), FT3 (free triiodothyronine), FT4 (free thyroxine), and the other three main thyroid antibodies. Sonography can be done. A good hormone replacement therapy can help you. For sexual issues, you seem to suffer from a disturbed sexual arousal cascade. So you need to refrain from sex for three months and refrain from masturbation completely. I prescribe you two herbal or mineral medications and you will become better soon.


The Probable causes:

You have thyroid dysfunction and sexual arousal cascade disturbance.

Investigations to be done:

You have to do a thyroid lab panel (comprehensive) and sonography of the thyroid.

Differential diagnosis:

The causes are various.

Probable diagnosis:

You have hypothyroidism of still unknown cause and sexual arousal cascade dysfunction.

Treatment plan:

You have to investigate thyroid hormones by an endocrinologist and refrain from sex and masturbation.

Preventive measures:

In case if you are not married, I recommend a physical masturbation prevention device. You can get back to me if you want this help.

Regarding follow up:

Revert me whenever you want.
