I’ve been noticing a nagging pattern with post-COVID complaints that seems to be swept under the rug in mainstream narratives. I had what was classified as a mild case of COVID several months back, and since then my erection issues have been a persistent, unsettling problem. The standard explanation of “temporary stress” or “psychological aftermath” doesn’t sit well with me when the issues seem chronic and are affecting vascular and nerve functions so clearly.
Does anyone have concrete evidence that COVID is merely an incidental stressor in these cases, or is it possible that long-term physiological damage is being downplayed? I’ve come across a few small-scale studies, but none of them seem robust enough to truly explain why men who otherwise were in good health are suddenly facing significant ED. Moreover, there’s an odd reluctance to re-examine the underlying biological impacts instead of attributing everything to collective anxiety.
What are your experiences? Have you found traditional ED treatments effective post-COVID, or might we need a different approach entirely? And to anyone citing “it’s all in your head”—what about those objective biomarkers and vascular assessments that show real changes? I’m asking because it feels like we’re settling for surface-level explanations without properly questioning whether the virus has more lasting and direct consequences on male sexual health.
