I need help with my Libido. It has disappeared. 38 yr old male 200lbs 5’11’’ gym 3 times a week, physical job, no weed or cigarettes, not vaxxed, alcohol moderate consumption on weekends.
My libido went from sky high to almost zero.
Here is my recent blood test:
Cortisol .24ug/dL
Estradiol 8pg/mL
Prolactin 21ng/mL
Testosterone 349ng/mL
SHBG 24.6 nmol/L
Free androgen index 49.23
Free testosterone 8.2ng/dL
( I don’t know what any of this means )
Diet:
Breakfast:
Dinner:
I do not eat pastries donuts cake cookies, rarely eat chips, I am a salt and vinegar guy. Mexican coke is where I get my sweet fix usually once per day. I do have a problem with vinegar and salt. I will drink pickle or banana pepper juice when I have a craving. I also put tabasco sauce on everything.
Medication:
Lisinopril 10mg for high bp Daily. I was averaging 130/90 before the med. Lisinopril will get me down to 120/80 but having a hard time maintaining that as the drug wears off in 12 or so hours.
Morning bp readings are usually 120/80. Before bed readings are usually 125-130 / 80 -88
I take Cialis once per week to increase blood flow to my penis very low dose as a therapy for penile health. ( last year I was dealing with a retracted penis I believe it was do to stress and hormone imbalances )
Supplements:
* I would love to get my libido back. It is strange because I have been more sober, no cigarettes, more home cooked meals the past two years of my life than anytime before ; but this is when my Libido changed.
** I dont have depression or anxiety
*** I used to have a ravenous urge for sex and now almost nothing. I don’t know what has happened to my body.
