Hi, my husband 57-years old. My husband diagnosed diabetes but he didn t take medication 4-5 years. Last year he had open-heart surgery and he had a stroke.

Hi,

We will try to help you in the best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what your husband had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, autonomic neuropathy in diabetes is a complication which can also cause decreased erections and loss of libido.

Also any other Neve lesion due to stroke or hypersensitive emergency can cause decreased sexual arousals.

Depression associated with chronic diseases at times also play a significant role in decrease as well.

Treatment will depend upon the cause in his case and should be evaluated by a urologist and a medical specialist combined.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
