How does MS affect erectile dysfunction and ejaculation?
Erectile dysfunction and ejaculation problems are common sexual issues with MS, affecting a significant number of men. MS damages nerve pathways between your brain and sexual organs, so your body may not receive the signals needed for arousal, erection, or orgasm.
Many MyMSTeam members have shared their experiences. One member mentioned feeling guilty when numbness prevents arousal, while others report decreased sensation and problems with both orgasm and ejaculation.
Treatment options that have helped members include:
- Oral medications like Viagra and Cialis
- Injectable drugs like Caverject (provides 2-4 hours of erection)
- Penile implants for those who can't or prefer not to use pills
One member noted that Cialis helped "especially in the ego department," while another found success with Caverject after oral medications stopped working for them.
It's important to discuss these issues with your doctor, even though it feels personal. They can help identify the best treatment approach for your specific situation and rule out other contributing factors like medication side effects.
