Patient's question:
The unstable high fever was only discovered after examination to be hyperthyroidism. After two years of continuous treatment in the Endocrinology Department of Zhongshan First Hospital, the professor said I could stop taking medication.Previous Treatment and Effects:
I had taken radioactive iodine (131I), but it seemed to cause side effects, leading to swelling and pain from the right shoulder to the anterior clavicle. Later, I was referred to the Endocrinology Department of Zhongshan First Hospital for treatment, which yielded good results. I have been off medication for nearly a year and have shown no signs of recurrence. However, my libido is not as strong as before. I would like to know if this is related to hyperthyroidism or to the onset of menopause.
Desired Assistance:
I would like the most effective guidance from your professional physicians. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
The sexual desire of women in general is indeed stronger between the ages of 30 and 40. This is because women's sex hormones reach their peak level around the age of 35, which is also the peak of sexual desire. However, the decline in women's sexual desire varies from person to person. In general, it often begins around the age of 45, but this is not absolute. After the age of 45, sexual desire tends to gradually decline, which is relatively common. However, since every woman's body is different, there are varying sexual differences. Some women in their 50s still have very strong sexual desires, while others in their 30s may have very average levels.
