Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Erection Problems Are Common Post Heart Cath Surgery?
40 yr old male had heart cath 2 weeks ago. heart cath ruptured 2 times within 24 hrs post cath.am still having pain in groin and left side of penis. have not had an erection since having the heart cath done. is there any correlation between the two.
Hi pain in the groin is very common after catheterisation, you can ask your cardiologist to prescribe you with non steroidal anti inflammatory medicines like diclofenac and seratiopeptidase for a few days. if erection does not happen after 5 days of treatment also then pudendal nerve injury can be suspected , in that case test have to be done for investigating damage to pudendal nerve suppliying the penis. thanks
