Assuming you are male, you may be better off seeing a urologist who specializes in andrology/ male sexual health than an endocrinologist; I don't know any endos who specialize in this.
Suggest:

OR this clinic
by the way are you on any medications or supplements? Some can affect libido
I contacted samitivej and gave them a description of my symptoms and they sorted me out an appointment with a urologist. Nah I’m not on any medications or supplements. My libido just disappeared mysteriously 4 years ago and I figure that after this amount of time it ain’t coming back unless I do something about it!

This is not a recommendation for an endocrinologist but rather a suggestion for something else to consider.
I had issues last year where my electrolytes were out of sync and I was eventually referred to an endocrinologist and tested for diabetes insipidis (which tends to come about from issues with the pituatary gland), but tested negative. The endocrinologist knew something wasn't right but couldn't determine what it was. In the end, the issue was my gut which was so messed up that it in turn was causing problems with hormones.
So my message here is to ask yourself how your gut health is. Of course, you should still see an endocrinologist, but if you have no luck there and / or you have gut issues, you might want to get those sorted.
It's interesting you say that because I used to have major issues with my gut (loose stools for 4 years) until I went clean keto about 9 months ago. This really saved my life. It cleared up my hormonal acne, my hair regrew, I had energy again, my brain fog decreased considerably and the loose stools got better.
Basically it gave me my functioning back and i didn't think i was dying anymore. However, I've been on it for 9 months now and still haven't seen a return of my libido and I'm at my wits end with it. I also struggle with my stamina, putting on muscle, facial hair, apathy etc etc so suspect a hormonal problem even though my testosterone values are okay.
May I ask how you sorted your gut issues?

I've had hormonal issues for 4 years now but the symptom which i am most bothered about is the absent libido. I've done blood tests and can see that a few of my hormones are out of whack but I'm having trouble understanding what my next steps should be. I need a competent endocrinologist who is knowledgeable in this area and knows how different hormones (prolactin, dht, progesterone, SHBG) effect libido and wellbeing as opposed to say an endo who specialises in the treatment of diabetes or weight management.
Can anyone recommend me a good endo to help me figure this out please?

Wow that’s quite the effort. It’s interesting because I had loose stools for many many years so probably means I had gut issues. I went carnivore and my health got so so so much better. I was a dying zombie who was suffering constantly but now Ive at least got some quality of life.
