What Causes Lack Of Erection While Taking Protein Pill/powder?

I am currently taking a protein pill and a protein powder daily. I have been these consistently for about a month. I have recently been experiencing problems getting an erection. I have never had this problem before. I am still able to ejaculate but am unable to obtain an erection. Could it be the high amounts of protein causing this?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

High protein diet has nothing to do with your erection related problems. It is more of your psychological thinking which is hampering your erection rather than any physical disorder. Kindly do pelvic floor strengthening exercise regularly. Consume dry fruits, saffron, banana and papaya in your diet. Eat healthy diet and do exercise regularly. Practice meditation to bring down your stress and apprehension. Gradually, you should be able to overcome the problem. Hope the information provided helps.

All the best!

Regards,
