Hello, Yes, long term steroids can cause impotence. You can ask him to slowly reduce the steroid dose and stop. Doing a ultrasound scrotum and sperm complete will help in diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr S.R.Raveendran, Sexologist
