Does Colonoscopy Reduce Erection ?
I HAD AN COLONOSCOPY 3 WEEKS AGO AND 1 POLYP WAS FOUND AND WAS REMOVED. IT WAS BENING. I AM 56. SINCE THE PROCEDURE I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO GET MUCH OF AN ERECTION . BUT WHEN MY WIFE AND FINALLY GETS STARTED IT GOES AWAY. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. COULD THIS BE CAUSED BY THE COLONOSCOPY AND IS IT TEMPORARY?

Hi,
Thanks for query,
It may be due to anesthesia given,
It will remain for some time and gradually it will go away.
Ok and bye.

Hi welcome to Healthcaremagic
Hi..., Colonoscopy is not related ot eerrectile dysfunction, or colonoscopy will not
cause temprovary impotence.., may be it is due to pain in your perinium, you cant
get erect, look for a week.., if it is same then you can consult surgeon..
Hope I have answered your question..
