Can Decreased Libido Be Due To Taking Shot Of Lupron?

My name is Wm. Ishmael, I m 72 and until my doctor gave me a shot of Lupron, the beginning of chemical castration I had an active sex life. Because the Dr. thought a small cancer on my prostrate made it necessary. That was 5 months ago, the shot was good only for 3 months. Thru a home remedy I reduced my psa to 0.2 and am not using the doctor anymore. I m trying to build up and back slowly, lots of fruit and veggies, no booze. Zinc intake at 100mg per day and that s all. Suggestions as I d like to become at least what I was. Thank Youw

Lupron decrease the production of testosterone. So it is useful in prostate cancer. But it may leads to decreased libido. No medical treatment is needed. It will improve by itself. Take proper diet.
