This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

From the last two months, I am not interested in sex. I do not know why.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please check your thyroid hormone profile, testosterone, and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone).

For more information consult an internal medicine physician online.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

What are testosterone and FSH?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Testosterone is the male sex hormone. It is responsible for libido and production of sperms. Its deficiency can cause loss of sexual interest. FSH is follicle-stimulating hormone which stimulates the testicular cells to secrete testosterone.

For more information consult an internal medicine physician online.
