Is it true that hypothyroidism lowers sexual desire in men and women?

Yes. A meta-analysis on thyroid disorders and female sexual dysfunction states that both men and women experience reduced sexual desire due to common symptoms of hypothyroidism. The remaining retrieved items concern other causes or correlates of low desire and do not address hypothyroidism.
