Shannen Doherty says cancer has killed her libido: ‘Sex doesn’t feel as good’
Shannen Doherty‘s cancer treatment has ruined her sex drive. “When you’re feeling not great about yourself, that’s going to kill your libido,” Doherty, 52, said on the most recent episode of her “Lets Be Clear” podcast.“But then when it actually impacts your libido, when meds take your libido away, or it makes things not as pleasant, sex doesn’t feel as good,” the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum continued.
Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation at the time. She is currently battling Stage 4 cancer.
Last year, she underwent brain surgery, and revealed in November that her cancer has spread to her bones.Doherty’s good friend Anne Marie Kortright attempted to persuade the “Heathers” star to work on her own sexual wellbeing. “Even though we’re both conservatives in our own upbringings and like our backgrounds … I think the modeling business is a little bit more open than the way you were,” Kortright, 41, said.The model added that in an effort to help her long-time pal, she took Doherty to an obstetrician/gynecologist named Dr.
Sherrie Ross.“Of course I took Shannen to the OB appointment and I sat there with her because that’s what I do,” Kortright laughed. “She took me because, you know, I specifically said her, ‘I need to do something,'” Doherty chimed in. “Things aren’t working and this isn’t the life that I want to live.”“I also don’t want my husband to live like this,” the “Charmed” actress said, referring to her ex-husband, Kurt Iswarienko, whom she divorced in 2023.
