I’ve been doing some research lately and came across information suggesting that diuretics might have a connection to erectile dysfunction. I’m curious to hear from others who might have experience or knowledge on this topic.

Has anyone experienced ED while taking diuretics, or is there any medical or scientific insight into how diuretics might impact sexual function? Are there specific types of diuretics more likely to cause this issue, or perhaps certain factors that might increase the risk?

I’m considering discussing this with my doctor but would love to hear from anyone who’s navigated a similar situation or has advice on managing potential side effects.

    While I’m not a doctor, I can share that diuretics are known to potentially cause erectile dysfunction in some cases. They can lower blood volume and affect blood flow, which might impact sexual function. Thiazide diuretics, in particular, are often mentioned in this context. It’s great that you’re planning to discuss it with your doctor—they can help identify whether it’s a contributing factor for you and explore other medication options or treatments.
