Let's talk sex

Hello, I dont know if this is the right forum for this however, you all would know better than I. I finished 33 treaments of radiation if Feb. and still have a very low sex drive. I really dont desire it but once month if then. I also have a new problem that wasnt there before tx. I am now having trouble achieving a full erection and there is pain when I do get an erection. I have an appointment with a eurologist in a couple of weeks but this seems odd. I could understand if I was radiated in the prostate area but not the head and neck. Has anyone had this experiance?

Just asking

Tom

Tom, I must say that during radiation and for the first month or so afterward, sex was the farthest thing from my mind. I'm beginning to wake up a bit now 6 weeks later. OTOH I don't have a girlfriend at the moment, so it's probably just as well! Perhaps some of the men not so afflicted can comment more knowledgably.

Get a good blood work-up. Low testostorone and low thyroid are common. I had the same issue, but realized I was just plain exhausted all the time. Thyroid was destroyed in radiation.

Get it all checked out.

Good luck, God Bless.
