Low testosterone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the most common problem when men lose their libido. Testosterone, produced in the testicles, is responsible for things other than your sex drive. <\/span><\/p>\n

There could be other factors at play like abnormal hormone loss or an injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
