Q: I am a 60 years old male suffering from liver cirrhosis.Can I smoke at least 1 cigarette a day? Can I have a sex?
A:There is no reason to avoid smoking or having sex when you suffer from cirrhosis of the liver. Loss of libido occurs in some people with cirrhosis, but if you are able to have sex there is no reason not to have.
