Diabetes, hypertension are some of the important causes for sexual dysfunction. However, at your age these causes may not be suspected. Sometimes, pain in genital area itself can cause low sex drive, because of pain. So, cause of this pain should be evaluated based on physical exam findings by Urologist. You might need evaluation by ultrasound of scrotum to check for any infections like epidydimitis and many other causes, after a thorough physical examination which can give a good clue. If the cause for the pain and similar symptoms is identified and managed accordingly, then the problem of sexual dysfunction also goes away.
Anxiety also plays a major role in sexual dysfunction in this age group.
