Why I Am Feeling No Sex Drive Followed By A Chemo And Radiation In My Pelvic Area?
I had a partial hysterectomy, uterus only, in 2009. This was found to be necessary during surgery I had to remove colorectal tumors. Subsequently I went through three or four months of chemo and radiation to my pelvic area. Since that time I have experienced an absence of sex drive; not low sex drive, NO sex drive . I ve seen gynecologists that prescribed estrogen and even testosterone therapy, but nothing has helped. I am wondering if this condition is permanent or if there is a doctor who specializes in this area and can help.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Radiotherapy damages normal part of body too.
And nerves are highly sensitive and easily damaged by radiation.
So you may damaged nerves by frequent radiotherapy sessions.
Nerves are important in sexual drive. And also important in sexual excitement and all.
So due to damaged nerves of pelvic region you have loss of sexual drive.
You shoukd take multivitamins containing zinc and b 12. Both are needed for nerve function.
