Low libido or drive
A drop in drive is a symptom, not a personality flaw. There's almost always a hormone story underneath.
Overview
In men we look at total + free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, and prolactin. In women we look at estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone across the cycle or menopause status. The workup determines the plan.
What we look at
