Has there been any research with connects Erectile dysfunction with cancer surviors? I have a friend which we have been getting more serious and he shared with me as a child he had Leukemia. Any time we get intimate he says he has performance issues and am curious to find out if this issue may be linked with any type of treatment he may have had as a child, he did state that he would not be able to have children? He also seems very down most of the time, I try to be supportive and provide positive thoughts does anyone know how I can approach him on his negativity about himself and ED issue?
Thank you,

Hi there,
Well I'm by no means an expert (doctor or otherwise) but I do know that chemotherapy agents can lead to drug induced impotance. That's all I have, I'm not sure if leukemia itself can cause ED or sterility (which is a trait of certain diseases like CF).
Hope this helps Smile
