You posted in the Prostate Cancer forum. Have you had prostate cancer? That could certainly be a factor, or the treatment of it could be.
The meds you take have been shown to help some men with ED, but a lot depends on the cause of it. If your ED is being caused by high blood pressure or thyroid issues, it could help.
Have you spoken with your doctor about it yet? Are your blood pressure and thyroid being monitored?
I was treated for my prostate cancer with the High Intensity Focused Ultrasound method. I'm happy wih the results so far as Its been almost three years and my last PSA was 0.3
However, I've been having unusually high BP for the past year or so and it has been resistant to most medicatiions to control it. One test my doc did, discovered high DHEA and I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar reaction after having prostate surgery.
As a matter of fact I loss my libido and got an erectile dysfunction due to Serenoa Repens, and my tests in every other area are perfect. Who knows how the serenoa repens is metabolized? how can you cure this adverse effects?
A doctor prescribed a testosterone shot, will that work?
Because semen is manufactured in the prostate gland any interference with it, like biopsy, is going to produce blood in the ejaculate. This is natural and normal and does not require and particular actions on your behalf.
There are many reasons why you might experience occasional erectile dysfunction and BP medications would not be high on my list of potential candidates. You might consider taking Cialis 10 mg every other day. This would improve your ED and urine stream at the same time.
With nerves, there is always the possibility that damage can occur elsewhere.
I don't think this is your problem, but perhaps you should have your prostate checked. It's possible that your prostate was hurt by the dildo...or that you had a previous prostate problem to begin with but didn't show until now.
I suggest going back to your doctor and telling him everything...or at least ask to have your prostate checked.
Another possibility is that you are suffering from anxiety.

Can anyone tell me what kind of questions are normal in a meeting with a doctor about erectile dysfunction?
Does the fact that I went to a doctor about erectile dysfunction stay on my medical record? Is it accessible by insurance agencies?
And yeah, I can't imagine this new batch of anxiety is going to help with the ED.
Erectile dysfunction following radical prostatectomy is not uncommon. Even men who undergo nerve sparing may not recover their erectile function for up to two years and may require the use of erectile aids such as PDE-5 inhibitors (Viagra, Calais etc.) or PGE-1 (alprostadil (MUSE or Caverject)). Predicting who will recover erectile function is by no means an exact science, it depends on preoperative factors, intraoperative factors and post operative factors.
I had prostate removed because of cancer in 20-2. After a few months I was able to get an erection and have intercourse with Trimix. In 2017 I had HA and wife started wanting to back off. We hadn’t had intercourse for 2 years and finally in last few months we have tried. The stronger dose gets my penis full but not erect enough for intercourse. When I lie down I lose erection, what is wrong?

One thing to consider when choosing a surgeon is, does he have any colleagues who specialize in sexual dysfunction? In other words, can he refer you to a urologist who has a lot of experience in treating erectile dysfunction?
Depending on where you live, if you are near a major medical center, you may be able to find someone with a lot of experience in this area. I would suggest trying to find someone who has a track record of scientific publications about erectile dysfunction.
After having the prostate biopsy, you do indeed have biopsy-proven prostate cancer. Now you need to think about treatment options. If the prostate cancer has spread to other organ systems (bone, lymphatics) then having a prostatectomy is not the best option. Instead hormonal treatment may be employed.
I have read that testicular cancer rarely hurts, only about 6% of people with tc present with gynecomastia usually bilateral, lowered libido (not erectile dysfunction) and most have hard painless lumps. I understand that you cannot make a diagnosis online but given the information above what are your thoughts?

Hi and welcome. Having an enlarged prostate may be annoying, but it does not cause erectile dysfunction. However, certain treatments for enlarged prostate can raise the risk for problems getting and sustaining an erection.
If you have one, have you checked your PSA lately?

I am in my mid-50s and have just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Needless to say, the news came as shocker especially since my previous doctor has been an advocate of not testing for PSA so now I have no way to tell how long I've had this cancer. I live in Hong Kong. My 2 recent PSA's have been 6.3 in Nov 09 and 5.9 in Feb 10.
Can STDs infections cause erectile dysfunction? Does this mean I have to have my prostate examined? (cause of lack of blood flow) Or can there be other explanations?
Question 2: After 1 week of doxy, some signs of improvement, but not full improvement, would you suggest 1 more week of doxy, 2 weeks of azithromycin, and then another drug? What regime would you recommend for someone who wants to make sure I kill it?
Many thanks!
