Brief Answer:
Pl get the following tests done

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Sex desire shows variation due to many factors - most common being stress. If it continues, it needs to be investigated. Therefore I would wait for few weeks before investigating further. But if you are concerned and wish, you can get blood sugar fasting, serum testosterone and screen through Hamilton's Anxiety Rating Scale. We plan the next steps of treatment based on results of these tests.

Hope this helps.
