Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it's a liver disease. They advised me to get an injection. I would like to ask if hepatitis can lead to low libido?Doctor's answer:
Now we are talking about the liver damage caused by hepatitis. Theoretically, after being infected with the hepatitis B virus, there is rarely a significant impact on sexual function, unless it is during the stage of cirrhosis with portal hypertension, or when the liver's ability to metabolize estrogens is impaired, leading to an increase in estrogen levels, which may result in heightened sexual desire. Medications that protect liver cells can be used to enhance hydrolysis and metabolism.
