Hemochromatosis – Symptoms & Causes

Erectile Dysfunction

Another possible symptom of hemochromatosis is impotence or erectile dysfunction. Iron plays a part in producing some sexual hormones in the body. When there is an excess amount caused by hemochromatosis, it would lead to the loss of the menstrual cycle in many women and the absence of sex drive in many men. This would affect your quality of life and eventually cause many other health issues. The symptom will not disappear until hemochromatosis is treated properly. [7]
