How can colorectal cancer affect my sex life? i'm gay.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Removal of rectum: Cancer of the rectum may require removal of the rectum and anus. This type of resection may damage the nerves instrumental in erection and render a person impotent. If your practice receptive anal/rectal intercourse, not having the requisite organs would make it infeasible.
