Liver damage and impotence - Liver & Pancreas Disorders Message Board

My husband has liver damage. The doctor's are calling it non-specific hepatits and he's have problems getting an erection and his sexual drive is real low. I was wondering if anybody out there has had this problem or a similar problem and what they did about it.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

I think he should see his doctor,who will know if his impotence could be related to his illness,and may refer him to see a urologist for further investigation to his problem.
The fact he recognises the problem is a major step in the right direction,and various means of treatment are available ie: vacuum pump,injections that will help sustain an erection for 30mins or so,last but not least viagra

I know exactly what you are going thru. My husband has cirhosis and has lost his sex drive too. He always had a very strong sex drive. It takes a toll on the wife. You know why, but it still makes you feel bad. He tried viagra, but with no luck.
