What Causes Constant Hand Numbness While Suffering From Erectile Dysfunction?

Over the last 2 mos. have experienced a sharp increase in my hands falling asleep , becoming so numb it wakes me at times. This occurs regardless of sleep position. This happens almost nightly now, up from 1-2 nights a week at onset (which was approx. 1 year ago). Also, concurrently just began having problems with ED. Connection? Possible causes? Thank you!

Hi i do care for your concern.
The numbness of hand may be due to neuralgia, that is compression of nerve.
You have not mentioned your age and occupation.
The reduction i done density cause bone compression that will press the nerve leading to pain and loss of sensation along the course of nerve.
I would suggest
To consult your physician and get X-ray done to find the extent of nerve compression
In most cases physiotherapy along with mild exercise will help a lot.
Regarding erectile dysfunction, there are many reasons causing and detailed evaluation of it is needed. It may not be related with your hand problem.
