I’ve been dealing with prostatitis for a while now and recently noticed some challenges with maintaining an erection. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced ED in connection with prostatitis. Is it common for inflammation or the treatments for prostatitis to lead to erectile issues? I’m curious whether it’s a temporary condition related to the infection or if it could be a more long-term complication. Any insights or personal experiences would really help me understand what’s going on and what steps I might consider next.
Prostatitis Cause Ed
I’ve seen similar posts here. In my experience, the inflammation from prostatitis can temporarily disrupt blood flow and nerve signaling, making it hard to get or maintain an erection. Sometimes the medications used, like certain antibiotics or alpha-blockers, might also have side effects that contribute to ED. I’ve read studies suggesting that once the inflammation subsides or treatment is adjusted, the issue can improve. Still, it’s definitely worth discussing with your doctor to look into both the underlying infection and any effects of your treatment plan specific to your situation.
