Long COVID has been linked to a range of lingering health issues, including erectile dysfunction (ED). If you’ve had difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection after COVID-19 illness, you’re not alone. Research suggests that the virus can impact blood flow, hormone levels, and nerve function—all of which are essential for sexual performance. Fortunately, effective treatments are available to help restore your confidence, treat ED, and improve your sexual health.
How Long COVID Contributes to Erectile Dysfunction
Long COVID can affect erectile function in several ways:
- Poor Blood Circulation: COVID-19 is known to cause inflammation and damage to blood vessels. This can have a direct effect on reducing blood flow to the penis, making it harder to achieve an erection.
- Hormonal Imbalances: COVID-19 can affect testosterone levels, which play a key role in libido and erectile function.
- Nerve Damage: Some studies suggest that COVID-19 may impact nerve function by potentially disrupting signals between the brain and the penis.
- Psychological Factors: Anxiety, depression, and stress—all of which are common with long COVID—can contribute to ED.
Treatments to Restore Your Sexual Health
ED caused by long COVID doesn’t have to be permanent. The following medical treatments can help improve blood flow, support nerve function, and enhance your sexual performance:
- Cialis and Viagra: These well-known oral medications help relax blood vessels and increase blood flow to the penis, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection when needed.
- GAINSWave®: This all-natural and non-invasive treatment uses low-intensity shockwaves to stimulate blood vessel growth and improve circulation. Its high success rate has helped many men experience firmer, longer-lasting erections despite long COVID.
- P-Shot: This innovative therapy uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood to promote tissue repair and boost blood flow, leading to improved erectile function over time.
