I'm really struggling with loss of libado and obviously so is my partners it's been on going now for about 5 years. I have 0 sex drive at all, I feel sorry for my partner but really struggle to want to do it ever.
Has anyone got any advice or who to see?

Well stocked health shops will have libido enhancing supplements. Worth a try?

Your GP.
Libido isn't an economic priority for the NHS, but mental health is and, if this is leading to marital stress and/or depression, that may swing it with a sympathetic GP. If you're on any medication, they should at least be able to look at the possible side effects.
If you're perimenopausal, that may be a factor. There are plenty of women that report sky-rocketing libido when they start HRT.
As I understand, there is little evidence for the efficacy of herbal etc treatments.

the pill can also be the reason for the lack of interest

Anti-depressants are a common cause.

I'm not sure for women. Holistic remedies exist. Horny goat weed & Stinging nettle root with icarian.
