Why and How Does It Happen?

• Cancer Type & Location: Prostate, testicular, bladder, and colorectal cancers directly affect male reproductive organs and sexual function.

• Surgery & Radiation Therapy: Procedures like prostatectomy or pelvic radiation can damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to erectile dysfunction or loss of ejaculation.

• Chemotherapy & Hormonal Therapy: These treatments can reduce testosterone levels, leading to low libido, fatigue, and fertility issues.

• Psychological Impact: Cancer diagnosis and treatment-related stress, depression, and body image concerns can reduce sexual desire and confidence.

• Nerve & Vascular Damage: Cancer treatments may impair blood flow and nerve function, making it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection.

• Fertility Challenges: Chemotherapy and radiation can affect sperm production, sometimes leading to temporary or permanent infertility.
