Synthroid cause of low libido?
| Wed, 02-16-2005 - 10:37pm |
Hi everyone! I'm new to this particular board, but not new to hypothyroidism. I had a thyroidectomy 4 yrs ago and have been on Synthroid ever since. The entire left side of my thyroid was removed and part of the right side. Anyway, can synthroid be cause the of my low sex-drive?

Hi:
Hypothyroid can be the cause of low libido... what are your levels these days? Do you have other hypo symptoms still?

Hi,
Yeah, it's good to get the levels checked when you're still having any symptoms. I'm sorry for your loss...
I had a miscarriage before I was diagnosed, and at the time it happened my TSH was 3.8 so my doctor didn't think I had a thyroid problem... a year or so later my TSH was up to 7, so I got the diagnosis then, but I know that I had the hypo the whole time.
Good luck & let us know what happens.
Dee.
