Unless you are a patient, I would prefer to not receive lab test results through email.

If you want, you can post them for everyone’s commentary. A problem though is that lab testing is often incomplete because a particular specialist will want to test for their side of a problem but miss possible problems with other systems.

The key with any assessment is to determine the actual cause of one’s problem. Without an idea of the cause of a problem then solutions will be trial and error, and mostly error. Doing an assessment for problems such as yours requires looking at all the systems involved and their relationships to each other.

Mental function problems often involve problems with multiple systems, not just one. Unless an integrated treatment is done, a complete treatment and improvement may not be obtained.

Aside from structural problems with one’s sex organs contributing to erectile dysfunction, an assessment of nervous system, endocrine system, immune system function, as well as metabolic function and nutritional status is necessary when facing mental function problems such as the loss of libido.

Libido involves specific circuits in the brain which are influenced by signaling from the three systems and metabolic function (i.e. activity within individual cells).

Inflammation is an important consideration. This means an increase in immune system inflammatory cytokine signaling. This can change neuroglial activity in the nervous system resulting a cascade of changes including loss of metabolic activity, signaling, cellular mass in various circuits; hypersensitivity of pain circuits; and increased sympathetic nervous system signaling (which has its own ramifications from downstream signaling cascades).

It is a complex subject.

Welcome.
