Erectile Dysfunction and Multiple Sclerosis:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, brain and spinal cord. The severity of the disease depends on each individual.
Symptoms occurs when the immune system unintentionally attacks the fibers that are meant to protect the nerves known as Myelin.
Break down in communications between the brain and the body resulting in: fatigue, difficulty in walking, numbness, tremors, vision impairment, vertigo, muscle weakness, coordination and difficulties in balance.
Erectile Dysfunction may be a side effect of multiple sclerosis as numbness and muscle weakness are symptoms of MS.
Studies have shown that anxiety can cause ED. Anxiety affects the body's stress response and blood flow which are two essential factors that help with erection.
Chronic stress, depression, personality disorder and PTSD are risk factors that causes erectile dysfunction.
