hello madam,
thanks for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question. I guess he should go for check up for sexual problem.
Few points.
Which drugs exactly he is taking, if any one causes erectile dysfunction ask his treating doctor.
After treatment of tb he is health or not means able to do sex with full excitement and energy
If no issue with drug, no other medical problem and in good health, he should visit qualified sexologist or psychiatrist with all case reports and medicines going on for check up. As erectile dysfunction is common problem now days and treatment id readily available ,no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your query, if still any confusion late me know.
regards, dr. Chintan Solanki
