Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction And Constant Headaches
Question: I'm 28, young healthy work out 3 times a week.
I only drink socially, I do not smoke or do drugs.
About 2 months ago I came down with a fever I thought was the flu and the fever went away after sleeping it off for a day and a half. After I still felt weak and thought I was just recovering, a month later still having problems.
Since then I have been exhausted, slight constapation, I have a constant headache in the lower right side of my head, I can't think clearly at times(such as memory etc) and my erections started to become less normal.
I started to get only semi hard during sex, and then after some time not be able to finish during sex, then a couple days ago it just wasn't working.
This is a shock considering two months ago I was have a full erection sex 2- 3 times a night no problem.
I've seen a neurologist about the headaches, MRI, nothing shows up. Had blood tests and everything came back normal.
My job is great, I'm not stressed life is good. Really shocked that all of this has all happened so suddenly.
I had a root canal 2 months ago, my jaw still is soar slightly but not much and it is on the same side of my head as my headaches. IAlso my right eye (same side) burns slightly sometimes.
When I wake up I feel hungover, headache and I have been having memory problems, like peoples names etc.

Brief Answer:
Erectile dysfunction
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Erectile dysfunction may occur following acute illness due to reversible gonadotropin deficiency.
Testosterone levels fall at the onset of illness and recover during recuperation.
Since erectile dysfunction is persisting, you may undergo serum testosterone level along with Serum LH & FSH levels and serum prolactin levels.
Elevated PRL levels are associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
Gonadotropin suppression leads to reduced testosterone, impotence, and oligospermia.
So you need to undergo further evaluation before your erectile dysfunction is labelled as functional and temporary.
Your headache, some memory problems may be stress related (secondary).
