Why test for low libido?
Low libido affects both men and women and frequently has a hormonal component. Testosterone deficiency, thyroid disorders, high prolactin, and chronic fatigue from anaemia or vitamin deficiency can all reduce sexual desire. Blood testing helps identify treatable causes so that appropriate support — medical or lifestyle — can be targeted effectively.
