Does Losing Weight Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

I'm really confused and I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill. I've been an extremely fussy eater since I can remember and since January I decided that I would loose some weight, I've lost 8 lbs and now don't eat more than 500 cals a day and i exercise for at least 30 mins a day. I take sea kelp pills to help me and look at pro ana websites for thinsporation, do I have and ED or do I just need to get a grip?

Hello, and thanks for your question.

Erectile dysfunction is best treated with the medication Viagra (sildenafil). This is very likely to improve your erection quality and duration. I would talk with a local doctor about prescribing this to you.
