Taken Corticosteroid Injection For Sciatica. Caused Anorgasmia. How Long To Become Normal?
I recently was given a corticosteroid injection in my back ( L5 / S1 ) to relieve symptoms of Sciatica . Although this did not work it has resulted in male anorgasmia . I cannot have an orgasm or feel an orgasm coming on. I am not talking of emission as that s not the issue. I believe that an injection of this type would have a successful life of 6 months. Can I therefore expect my ability to have an orgasm would return in time? Many thanks for your interest. Alastair Fyfe

Hi, it appears that you have this effect by a psychological effect, by hearing about such experience, from some one. Actually orgasm is controlled from the cerebrum, as the injection is given at L5, if at all it will cause the effect on the erection of the penis. Any how consult a urologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you.
Thank you.
