I am 33 years old, I did cardiac catherterization with stent implantation since 3 weeks . They said i had cardiac arrest during it. After the procedure I had left hemispheres and lost erection instead of i had good erection just the day before the catheter . The paresis improved with physiotherapy but the erection is not till now.

HI, Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
Erectile dysfunction in your case needs neurological evaluation if it doesnot settle down after a few weeks, to know if the stroke (left hemiparesis) has any thing to do with it.Wishing you good health

Hello and welcome to HeathcareMagic!
Erectile problem is quite common after a cardiac procedure like catheterization. It should settle down within a few days, but I advice you to consult a neurologist for your paresis; which requires immediate attention.
best wishes and regards.
