Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Erectile Dysfunction Due To Internal Damage Of Nerves?
That s total nonsense. After 1 treatment you think I developed a psychological problem ? Based on what ? You are telling me nerves or something else can t be damaged by inserting a tube up my anus with colonic irrigation ? My hormonal levels, serum testosterone etc. have all been tested & fine . Its to much of a coincidence that this happened the same day, and before that day I always had strong frequent erections. I think the psychological answer is old school Doc. Viagra works ,but I d rather get to the root of the problem and like to know if anyone else had a similar problem &what test would pick up internal damages to nerves or whatever. I don t think a psychiatrist should answer these questions,, LOL Although some ED can be caused psychologically ,not in 1 hour. The high percentage of ED is physical unlike that old myth. Hope your readers get that. Thank You.
I get it. You are exactly right. I see no reason for a psychological cause for this problem, but I am a nutritionist with extensive medical background. I do know that the nerves can be damaged by such procedures and if you came to me as a patient looking for a referral I would suggest a neurological consult, copies of my records and a second gastrointestinal opinion. I am so sorry this happened to you. Then, you get an answer like its all in your head. Relax. You are validated. I hope the suggestions I provided help put you on the right track now.Kathryn Shattler, MS,RDN
