HI, DOCTOR, MY QUESTION IS, I HAD AN COLONOSCOPY 3 WEEKS AGO AND 1 POLYP WAS FOUND AND WAS REMOVED. IT WAS BENING. I AM 56. SINCE THE PROCEDURE I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO GET MUCH OF AN ERECTION. BUT WHEN MY WIFE AND FINALLY GETS STARTED IT GOES AWAY. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. COULD THIS BE CAUSED BY THE COLONOSCOPY AND IS IT TEMPORARY?
Hello, When you undergone colonoscopy? There no much correlation between both. But few studies have shown that 60% of people who undergone colonoscopy may show transient ED. So don't worry if your erectile dysfunction not recover means you may consult with your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
