Hi all, generally I’m quiet on here but do read every day. My condition (pbc) has progressed to the point that my consultant has now referred me to Birmingham....gulp!!
But, my reason for posting is to do with libido. Currently I have zero, much to the annoyance of my wonderful, supportive partner. We were discussing it the other day and just wondered when is it likely to come back?? Any sort of time frame post tx?? I do appreciate all of us are very different, but some general feedback would be good - before she finds a passing milkman!!

Thought I was drawing the right conclusion between Milo and Mil** when I saw the new name pop up on the forum. Plus the signature flag at the bottom. 😁
Pilo, you might find this link worth adding to your history, it's a glossary of various liver terms and I wouldn't want you to loose it as this bampot called Twosmiles used to do. healthunlocked.com/britishl...
Haha Katie very good 😁. Yes he was a bit of a plonker - glad we got rid of him.
It’s nice to be back - I never actually went away, I always read posts but just was hiding coz I’m a coward at heart, keeping my head down from those admins (now that’s not impolite is it? Didn’t even add the word I wanted to 😁)
Mine disappeared 2 years before transplant and 2 years post transplant it's still not reared its bloody head ... But I have brought it up at every appointment and I am being prescribed testosterone shortly out think my hubby going to explode in anticipation 😂😂
This is the symptom not many talk about and its a pretty big elephant that needs to be coaxed out of its corner.
I asked my transplant coordinator if it would return, the answer was simply the same as when I asked if the diabetes will be resolved. Nobody knows and everyone is different.
Guess what - the transplant took place and I no longer have diabetes.
If his elephant ever comes out the cupboard now! I'm running!
It's good that everyone is openly talking about this as it is a tough topic on the ego. In the meantime I dont think any lady can turn down a good moustache ride while awaiting the elephant to get out of the corner and into the ring.. keeps the milkman away and all of a sudden noone seems to care to go out for bread anymore 😅
Hi Huggy, I know exactly how your partner feels. My husband started with problems years ago and at first went to the dr and got the magic pills. Everything was great for awhile, but after sometime he just lost all desire. We had a fantastic love life for years previously. He stopped taking the pills as he just wasn't interested and our love life went to zero. He still loves me 100% but it hurts being pushed away all the time. I've given up now. Seperate beds,( although he snores terribly so sometimes its a Godsend.) So you two keep talking about it and you will both be fine and go see your dr. We are older now, but I still miss the closeness. Don't give up like we did, as it's a very sad end to 36 years of marriage.
Hi, that dirty word Libido. Seen by some as pure filth and others as a god given right. I had issues long before diagnosis of liver disease and was prescribed the blue pills which worked but always left me with a headache. Had a resection then about 3 years later an attempted transplant. My interest went completely but my wife seemed more needy than ever before. I am 59 and she is 62 and we had always had a good physical sex life. So we began experimenting with “toys”. Now we are taking care of her needs and very occasionally I will have some urges too. The inability to get or maintain an erection certainly doesn’t stop us and she worries much more about my ego than that s necessary. As they be always said I could give any woman the best 3 minutes she’s ever had, only because it takes me at least 2 minutes to take my socks off.
I think libido is affected one way or another in most cases post transplant. It's certainly an issue at the later stages of liver disease. Whilst I still got it, touch wood (no pun intended 😁), let's just say the big moment happens much quicker than it used to 😏
