Many men complain about erectile problems after corona, in this blog we will go into this in more detail.
After experiencing a COVID-19 infection, some men notice that their sexual health has changed. What was once self-evident is suddenly different: less desire, difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, or even total erectile dysfunction. Although erectile problems after corona are a taboo for many, it is more common than you think.
In this blog series we explain:
- Why erectile dysfunction can arise after corona
- What are the physical and psychological causes
- What you can do about it: medical, natural and supportive
- What role can products like Kamagra, Cenforce and Super Kamagra play in recovery?
How Does COVID-19 Cause Erectile Dysfunction?
COVID-19 is known as a respiratory disease, but the virus also affects blood vessels, nerves, hormones and the immune system. And these are the components that are essential for a good erection.
1. Damage to blood vessels
An erection occurs when the blood vessels in the penis dilate and fill with blood. COVID-19 causes endothelial damage in some people: the inner lining of the blood vessels becomes inflamed or damaged. This blocks the blood flow to the penis.
2. Hormonal disruption
Some men with COVID have a drop in testosterone, which can lead to decreased libido and erection quality. This is also called “post-COVID hypogonadism.”
3. Nervous system out of balance
COVID-19 affects the autonomic nervous system. This system regulates blood pressure and erectile reflexes, among other things. Dysregulation of these can cause erectile dysfunction.
4. Long-term inflammation and fatigue
Many people experience fatigue, muscle weakness and decreased energy for months after infection. All of these factors undermine sexual performance.
5. Long COVID
Long COVID can last for months or even years. Symptoms such as shortness of breath, brain fog, muscle pain and depression contribute to sexual dysfunction.
Psychological Impact of Erectile Dysfunction after Corona
In addition to physical damage, COVID-19 also causes mental and emotional consequences that directly affect your sex life. Many men experience a loss of confidence in their body, shame or fear that it 'doesn't work anymore'. In this section we discuss the psychological effects of erectile dysfunction after corona.
1. Fear and fear of failure
After one or more times that an erection does not occur, a vicious circle of tension quickly arises. You worry about performance, which blocks your body. Stress activates the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight mode), which makes an erection literally impossible.
2. Sadness and depression
Due to long-term fatigue or loss of control over your health (long COVID, lockdown consequences), some men develop depressive symptoms. Libido and sexual arousal often decrease.
3. Problems in relationships
Erectile dysfunction can lead to frustration, misunderstanding or distance in your relationship. Some men avoid intimacy out of shame or self-protection. Partners also sometimes feel rejected or insecure, which puts extra pressure on sexual contact.
4. Sexual avoidance
Men who fear "failure" avoid sexual contact altogether. This exacerbates the problem, as sexual connection and trust diminish.
5. Shame and isolation
Erectile dysfunction often remains undiscussed. The combination of corona-related complaints and sexual dysfunction makes it extra difficult for many men to seek help.
What can you do?
- Talk about it with your partner, GP or sexologist
- Recognize that the problem is not 'all in your head', but a combination of body and mind
- Break the pattern of avoidance: intimacy doesn't always have to be sex
- Consider temporary support with erectile dysfunction drugs to regain confidence
