Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder:
You need a detailed history and clinical assessment before making a diagnosis.
Low desire and erectile dysfunction can be due to many reasons like vascular, neurologic, endocrine causes (
diabetes,
thyroid dysfunction and hypogonadism), drugs and psychogenic.
Presence of one problem can cause the other sexual dysfunction.
Desire disorder can be treated only after understanding personal, relationship, couple dynamics, underlying hormonal and medical disorders.
Treating with pro-erectile drugs like Viagra alone may not solve the problems
You can meet an endocrinologist in person before going for lab tests and get a complete work up, treatment and psychological counseling done.
