For the past couple years I have noticed my libido decreasing severely. (My other half is home from Japan (Marines) for 2 weeks, haven't seen him in 3 months, and don't even want to have sex!) We have a 4 year old son together and everything was fine back then, obviously, lol. I have been getting bloodwork done, esp. testing my prolactin, testosterone, and androgen levels ordered by my gyno, due to a hormone deficiency problem of some sort, not sure exactly what yet. Intercourse can also be very painful for me, a symptom of endometriosis which may be one of my problems. I found a website that said decreased libido is a symptom of something, but cannot find the site again. Does anyone know what disease/syndrome can decrease your libido? I'm sure there are alot of them, and I have it on the tip of my tongue, but cannot remember it. Anyone who can help, please feel free. (I am only 20 years old!)

I had our son when I was 15, and this has been happening since before I was on birth control. I know depression effects your libido, and birth control as well. This has been a problem while I was on and off of pills.

It can be a sign of depression as well as several other ailments. It's good you're getting your bloodwork done to be safe.

Have you been on the pill? Some women experience a lower libido because of that. If you are, check w/ your doctor and see if they can lower the estrogen level of your pill. Good luck!

baby at 16? well...you're probably exhausted! for the life of me, i can't think of the site, but mention it to your doctor. are you depressed, or on birth control? those factors can decrease your libido.
