Hi. My husband suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm 7.5mths ago. It happened during sex and I was lucky to have read an article on it a few days prior, so when it happened I picked up on his symptoms right away and rushed him to the hospital. He had to have it clipped through open brain surgery. Its scary when I think that he just wanted to go to sleep, and the doctors said if he did he probably would not have woken up.
He is healing really well. Almost back to 100%.. With the exception of one aspect of our lives.. His libido is VERY LOW. We are only 40 yrs old and since his surgery, we are only intimate once every 2mths, and only for a few minutes.
My husband is now taking blood pressure meds (Amlodipine 20mgs and Propranalol 10mgs) and I think that may be a contributing factor.
I have not really brought up the issue with my husband, because I dont want him to feel pressured or embarassed in any way, however he has mentioned to me that he just does not "feel for it" anymore. I don't want to sound crass, but is there anyone here who has experienced similar problems and can offer me some advice? I'm very nervous about bringing up the issue with my husband because its a very sensitive subject and I don't want to embarrass him or make him feel like he is "less of a man" than he was prior to the incident. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I just wonder if his libido will come back in due time. Thanks for any advice.
