Hello
Thanks for your query. I understand your concern with the quality of sexual life. Erectile dysfunction can occur with few of the psychotropic medication used for treatment of bipolar disorders like anti psychotics. Of course in that case you will have to find out which medication he is under. The other possibility is he is the depressive phase of bipolar disorder which by itself associated with erectile dysfunction. Effective treatment like sildenafil can be tried provided your partner is willing to. Hope you found the information useful.
