Hi . Many men have no idea (and doctors don't always explain) that the ADT doesn't just potentially cause ED, but the lowering of the testosterone can also cause a loss of libido. You definitely are not alone. Our contributor Alfred wrote about it here: https://prostatecancer.net/living/libido-adt and Guy here: https://prostatecancer.net/living/adt-libido-and-puberty. I noticed that you wrote in the past tense. Does this mean that the effects have worn off for you? Best, Richard (Team Member)

Not much yet, though my Onc has cut 1/2 by stopping Bicalutamide. I’ve already gotten the quarterly Eligard shot. Gonna check PSA after 6 weeks to confirm. At least sex OCCURS to me now. lol
