High Blood Pressure/Erectile Dysfunction

[jackbruns28]

Hello all. So, as the subject header alludes to, I'm suffering from Erectile Dysfunction. To flesh this out better, I'm 46 years old. Male. I'm on the autism spectrum and suffered from depression because of it. I also drink every night. Don't get me wrong, I also work out every other day, and eat rather healthy. Physically, I still have urges, but for the past 6 months, my penis and perineum area feel sore. Like a dull throbbing. I can get an erection, but it's not pleasant. Also, I'm bisexual and enjoy anal sex as a bottom, but have lost interest as it's no longer an erotic feeling. I went to a doctor, and did blood work. No diabetes. But, my blood pressure was a little high at 140.

I've researched high blood pressure can be a huge factor for ED. Do you think that's what it is? Should I ask my doctor for blood pressure meds?

Hey there, I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. It sounds like you've been dealing with a lot, and it's brave of you to reach out for advice.

Given your symptoms and the fact that you've already consulted a doctor and ruled out diabetes but found slightly elevated blood pressure, it's definitely worth discussing the possibility of high blood pressure contributing to your erectile dysfunction (ED). High blood pressure can indeed impact blood flow to the genitals, which can affect erections.

While I can't give medical advice, talking to your doctor about your concerns regarding high blood pressure and its potential connection to your ED is a great idea. They can provide you with personalized advice and may recommend lifestyle changes, medication, or other treatments based on your specific situation.

In addition to discussing blood pressure medication, you might also want to inquire about ED medication options. There are various treatments available, and your doctor can help you decide which might be the most suitable for you, considering your overall health and any other medications you may be taking.

Remember, seeking help is an important step, and there are solutions out there. Hang in there, and I hope you find relief soon.

Hey man, I hear you. I’ve got ED myself and completely understand how tough it can be. I’m 37 and take Cialis because, honestly, without it, things just don’t work. It was a blow to my confidence at first, but I’ve made peace with it—it’s like any other health issue that needs treatment. High blood pressure can definitely play a role in ED, as it affects blood flow, which is key for erections.

You should absolutely talk to your doctor about blood pressure meds. Lowering your BP might improve things over time, and combining that with Cialis or a similar med could make a big difference. Keep up the healthy habits—exercise and eating well are already great steps. Cutting back on nightly drinking might help too since alcohol can mess with both your erections and BP. Stay proactive, man—you’re on the right track.
