Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My husband is 30 years old. We got married nine months ago. It has been five to six months since we last had intercourse. I have spoken to him, but I have not received any satisfactory response. I think there may be something wrong with him. Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. Firstly, I would like to inform you that low libido has underlying causes:

  1. Infections: It may be due to a urinary tract infection. Consider a urine complete analysis and a pelvic ultrasound for diagnosis.
  2. Diabetes and Hypertension: Ensure that your blood pressure and blood sugar levels are well-controlled. If you are already on medication, please provide the medication names.
  3. Hormonal Disturbances: Assess thyroid function (TFT), prolactin levels, and testosterone levels to identify hormonal imbalances.
  4. Obesity: Incorporate regular exercise and yoga into your routine to address this factor.
  5. High Cholesterol: Evaluate your lipid profile and consider a regular exercise plan for managing high cholesterol.
  6. Chronic Diseases or Medications: Share details if you have any chronic illnesses or are taking chronic medications.
  7. Anxiety can also contribute to libido issues.

I suggest he undergo following tests:

  1. Ultrasonography scan of pelvis can help rule out pelvic infections.
  2. Thyroid check-up Including tests for free T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (thyroxine), and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone).
  3. Lipid profile to determine cholesterol levels.
  4. Monitor his blood pressure and ensure it stays within a healthy range.
  5. RBS (random blood sugar) to check his random blood sugar levels.

Kindly provide more information about the above reasons so that we can work on identifying the cause and determining the appropriate treatment. As a temporary solution, I suggest he take a table containing Tadalafil 5 mg twice a day. However, it is crucial to address the underlying issues for a more long-term solution to low libido. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
