Treatment for prostate cancer can include surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy, all of which can have sexual side effects. These may include erectile, difficulty having an orgasm, as well as fertility issues.

Prostate cancer feeds on testosterone, and the hormone treatment used to lower testosterone levels in the body, has a definite negative effect on libido.

Depending on your overall cancer treatment plan, your doctor may later be able to initiate testosterone replacement to help bring levels back to normal.
