I've had absolutely no sex drive or interest for quite a while now. I've read that is a symptom of HH. Anyone else experience this? Could it be low testosterone? Has anyone tried any medications like viagra?

    It could well be low testosterone, especially if you have noticed other symptoms of low testosterone – particularly symptoms like decreased muscle mass and slower growth of body hair and facial hair. 

    Other things can cause low desire, including depression, one cause of which is low vitamin D.  Low thyroid function doesn’t help either.

    So it is really a good idea to talk to your doctor and find out exactly what is going on.  Then you’ll know what needs fixing.

    Viagra and related medications increase blood flow to the penis when there is desire and stimulation but the penis isn’t cooperating.  However, Viagra doesn’t increase interest/desire.

    Chris, my husband found out he had HH, started doing phlebotomies , he said he had no sex drive when his count was over 2000. He is now down to 50 and has made a world of difference . Get that all under control and hopefully things get better
