Hello.

1. Yes, over time, UNCONTROLLED hypertension (BP) can result in certain damage to the blood vessels, this can result in poor circulation of blood to the penis (resulting in various sexual conditions; including reduced libido)

2.No, this cannot be sexually transmitted. But there are various infections that are sexually transmitted, that can result in poor sperm production

3. There is no such thing that should be avoided after completion of anti-tubercular regimen. Instead, TB would have resulted in weight loss, and so, a high-protein diet is advised

4. Yes, stress is a direct causing factor of high blood pressure.

There are various relaxation techniques advised to avoid taking stress. But for high blood pressure you need lifestyle modifications and blood-pressure lowering medications.

I hope this helps.

Take care.
