Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Yes, its possible that female hormones (estrogen, progesterone) makes secondary sexual characteristics and erection weaker.
Normally there are female hormones present in males too in fractions. Thats insignificant amount and even nil. Same in females; they have testosterone in trace amounts and there is a balance in males and females regarding hormones. If she has more testosterone, may get facial hair. Male getting more estrogens, may get gynaecomastia, weakened erections, and/or loss of libido.

Let me know if you need any more information...
