Question

using propranolol for treatment of cyrrosis of liver. what other methods are there for this condition.as side affects of tablet is afecting my sex life.

Answer 1

As to the previous poster, testosterone may help your sex life, but if your issues are due to propranolol it's no cure.

Secondly, the propranolol is most likely to decrease the high blood pressure in your gut caused by your hardened liver (portal hypertension). If your portal hypertension gets bad, you could develop a fatal bleed in your foodpipe (esophageal varices) and die. Don't stop taking your medication without speaking with your physician first!

Unfortunately, there aren't too many other alternatives to dropping the portal hypertension. There are other betablockers besides propranolol (nadolol, for example), but they often have the same side effects. There is a medical procedure (TIPS) that can be performed to reduce portal hypertension, but it is performed only in patients much sicker than yourself due to the risk of complications (bleeding, mental clouding, etc).

The only true cure of cirrhosis, unfortunately, is liver transplantation.

Answer 2

While it's true that "propanolol means not at all," your choices are somewhat limited, depending on exactly what your doctor's trying to do with the beta blocker. There are other classes of drugs that work on the renin-angiotensin system besides beta blockers, but whether they'd be appropriate for you depends on the specifics of your situation. Note that the propanolol doesn't treat the cirrhosis itself but some of the physiologic consequences. You'll need to have a heart-to-heart with your physician.
