Thyroid disorders are a common cause of desire, arousal and orgasm issues. The correcting of a thyroid disturbance by use of proper medications often resolves these issues. You would have to speak to your prescribing clinician, depending on what specific medication(s) you are on, to figure out if there is a risk of sexual side effects from it/them. If there are no known sexual side effects, you may benefit from seeing a sexual health clinician to rule out other causes of your problems through a detailed health history and physical exam.
