Can sickle cell disease affect or interfere with one being sexually active?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, for men...: Sickle cell disease can lead to erectile dysfunction in some men. Nerve damage can occur in patients who have episodes of priapism, a prolonged erection caused by sickle cells impeding proper blood flow in the penis.
