Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Asathioprine does many things as adverse effect but erectile dysfunction is not one of them.
Erectile dysfunction is connected to many causes . Age related performance issue is commonest of all.
Focus on the blood workup for a while and give your coital freauency a rest for a while. Some times these issues self resolve. Sex therapist may be considered after the blood dilemma resolves.
I hope it helps. Take good care of your partner and yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
