Hi,
Thanks for your question.
You haven't mentioned your age but your symptoms point to menopausal age group. During these years as ovarian function is declining, female fertility & sex drive also decline.
You may expect an improvement in your symptoms of hot flushes & low sex drive by taking "Hormone replacement therapy". You should discuss this with a Gynecologist in your area.
Wish you good health.
