Can Cholecystectomy Cause Erectile Dysfunction/impotence?
Can Gallbladder removal surgery(cholecystectomy) cause erectile dysfunction/impotence?
I'm in my mid 20's and had my gallbladder removed a couple of years ago. I am noticing that my erections aren't as long or as... erect as they used to be. A bit "limpy" maybe would be the best way to describe them. I can't pin point the exact time this happened, but it was probably around the time I had my cholecystectomy. Is it possible? I have read that some surgeries can rupture arteries that pump blood into the penis, however I did not see cholecystectomy among those mentioned.
1) No. there is not any association of cholecystectomy surgery with erectil dysfunction. 2) this might happen (only in rare occasion) after surgeris of rectum.
