Does Cortisone Cause Erectile Dysfunction And How Long Does It Last?

Hello To who ever can help me answer my question Please and I really appreciate your help, I hurt my back last year on March, Got my Mri done and was told I had two bulging disk L4 L5, so after they gave me a cortisone shot on September notice I started to lack to have an erection but didn't put to much of attention since I was still enjoying good sexit with my girlfriend.I just had a second shot on Monday of this week and now I'm definitely notice that I could have a problem with erection dysfunction, Im really scared , I wanted to know if the injection could be the cause of it and if so How long do you think it will last.? Thanks again.

Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

There is very minimal chance of getting erectyle dysfunction with single injection of cortisone. This is probably not the cause for your erectyle dysfunction.
In my view your bulging disk caused damage to ralavant nerves leading to erection problem.
You get the help of sexologist so appropriate measures can be taken.
