Does past trauma cause erectile dysfunction?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am experiencing bad erectile dysfunction. Five years back, my girlfriend was masturbating on me too hard and fast. Eventually, my frenulum was pulled back and torn, and blood came out of the urethra. I urinated, and the bleeding stopped, but I never saw a doctor for it. And my penis has brown bruise-like marks on the upper shaft and a brown line at the back of the shaft along the urethra down to the testicles, along with erectile dysfunction. What do you think needs to be done? Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I do not think your previous trauma has anything to do with your erectile dysfunction. If you are passing urine normally without any pain and if you have painless erections, it means that your urogenital system is normal. So, then, we need to determine the cause of your erectile dysfunction. Most of the time, the cause will be anxiety. A simple way will confirm whether you have performance anxiety. Check if you get a good erection while masturbating alone but have problems when you are with a sexual partner. But if you are not having anxiety problems, we need to evaluate for the cause. So I suggest you get these tests done and revert to me. The tests to be done are fasting and postprandial blood sugars, serum prolactin, serum testosterone, serum LH (luteinizing hormone), serum FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone).

I hope this helps.

Please revert to assist you further.

Thank you.
