How Can Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease Be Treated?
I have degenerative disk disease in my lumbar region with L4L5 as severe. The rest of my spine is rated as moderate disk degeneration. I also have scoliosis rated a 20 per cent. Can this disorder cause constipation and also my inablility to have an orgasm during sex. I have no problem with erections.

Hi,
Thanks for using HealthcareMagic
It is possible that may affect bowel movements can cause constipation but not as likely to cause problems with orgasms though everyone is different.
You may need to increase your fluid and fiber intake to see if this would help with the constipation. At least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables should be used daily.
You may need to consider speaking to your GP or urologist about the issues with orgasms.
I hope this helps.
