Lost sex drive after prostatitis. What can I do?
Posted , 11 users are following.
Hi, I was recently diagnosed with prostatitis and I was treated with antibiotics for about two weeks. After I finished antibiotics I feel totally fine as I was before but what's missing is my sex drive. I have little to no desire masurbating (which was done almost daily before having prostatitis) and I have sex with my wife it will take forever to ejeculate (which never lasted in the past more than 5 minutes).
Which brings be to the question what should be done to get my past sex drive back?

Wow, I have never heard of this before. I don't really know as it does not sound like an ED situation.
I know this is probably not the best suggestion but maybe in the name of "science" you could find a good looking 25 year old woman willing to assist in the efforts of research with this and see if you can start the elimination of the possible causes.
You could maybe call it clinical trials. Lots of times people are paid to participate in clinical trials. At least this would answer some important questions though it may cause some additional pain at home and other complicated issues. Unless you keep your research private and between you and only the research assistant. But you would at least possibly have a direction on the problem with this research. This is a good place to start but use a condom to avoid more possible prostatitis. At the moment and with never hearing of this before, I got nothing else to offer and this does sound like a drastic suggestion. Did your doctor have any suggestions?

Have you been taking any other meds like Avodart or Finisteride ? They will definitely reduce your libido. Stress and anxiety can also reduce it. Tamsulosin (Flomax) will cause temporary retrograde ejeculation (dry orgasm), which should return to normal a few days after stopping it. In any case your libido will probably return to normal in a few weeks, especially if you stop sexual activity for a while. If it continues you can get your testosterone level tested.
