Hello
Thanks for choosing wwwhealthcaremagic
Common causes of low libido are-
1- Depression and issues of performance anxiety
2- Low testosterone level
3- high prolactin level

A detailed history is taken and if performance anxiety is the cause, counselling can help
For others, these hormones are estimated in blood . If found abnormal, treatment is possible .
