I Have Been Suffering Pinched Nerve In My Lower Back , I Wanted Your Suggestion.

I have a just been diagnosed with a probable pinched nerve in my lower back around L5. I am 23 and very fit. The pinched nerve causes some uncomfort but no pain down my legs. Is it likely that it is the source of my erectile dysfunction that I have been suffering from lately?

It is unlikely that your erectile dysfunction will be due to nerve pinching. Get a nerve conduction test done to know the status of your nerve. plus take adequate rest,strengthn your back muscles with exercise.
