Is this true?

My recent appt with my doctor , I asked when I would regain my libido. He said after you go off the ADT meds it takes about as long as your were on them so in my case it will take about 4 -6 months after I quit taking the drugs. Which will be mid Sept. I just finished my 44 fractions of radiation on Thursday.

My sexual interest - libido- is completely gone. And there was a time when I was really grieving the loss of that part of me. I guess I’ve either got used to it or am in some kind of low grade depression.
I keep myself busy with other interests and put my time into friendships and not dating.

You should refer to the ProtecT trail . This trial is the largest study of its kind .
Part of the study found : " That the negative impact of radiotherapy and surgery on urinary and sexual function persist much longer than previously thought -- , for up to 12 years ."
