Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

Acute appendicitis surgery has nothing to do with inability to do sex.

Your medical conditions like diabetes, hypertension and obesity are having relationship with sexual dysfunction.

So let me know whether your blood sugar level, blood cholesterol and blood pressure are under control or not?

Please revert to me with the names of drugs you are taking for your medical conditions as some drugs can decrease the sex drive.

I hope I have addressed your concern.

Please revert to me in case if you have any query.

Thanks.

Thanks for reverting with more medical history.

Sexual disturbances can occur due to:
1. Uncontrolled diabetes
2. As a side effect of drugs
3. Age is related changes e.g low Testosteron level.
4. Erectile dysfuntion

In your case, daonil, diabetes and age related changes could be the cause. Therefore I suggest you to consider visiting a sexologist/psychiatrist and physician to exclude the causes. Doctor may prescribe you tadanefil or depoxetine which can be helpful. He may advise you to change the anti diabetic drug.

As treatment will be directed as per cause, it would be worthwhile to visit the doctor.

Your weakness can also be attributed to Vitamin B12 deficiency or diabetes itself.

I hope I have addressed your concern.

Feel free in case if you have further query.

If you do not have any query, please close the discussion and rate the answer.

Thanks.
