Sorry if this is TMI or whatever, but I contracted covid recently and basically since the day after symptoms emerged, I basically can't get hard... I don't get morning wood, I haven't gotten even a little bit of an erection all day. It's only been a few days, but at the same time, this has never been a problem for me in my life, ever when I was sick. I am absolutely losing my mind right now, I'm still young and I shouldn't be dealing with this yet.
Did anyone else get this symptom and did it go away? I'm just freaking out man. It's destroying my mind.
I have read that it's a possible symptom of covid
Yes me too, which is why I asked about if anyone else experienced it, because all the literature I've read about it doesn't make clear whether it's an actual symptom or a chronic symptoms, just says that "it happens" basically. I wanted to see whether others experienced it and had it go away.
Another poster here mentioned that I could be suffering from hypoxia, which follows, because I pretty much feel like I'm at high altitude. Can make full breaths, just feel thus headache and feeling that I'm not getting enough air. And I'm young, triple vaccinated.
this didn't have to spread like it did. They completely gave up on us
COVID is a vasculitis, it affects groups of blood vessels just like high blood pressure, atherosclerosis or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. The bigger the cluster of vasculature, the higher likelihood of potential damage (kidneys, brain, lungs...penis).
One of the most fucked up things about this pandemic, to me, a physician that quit my job in critical care because I couldn't deal with watching any more people die from a virus I can't treat, has been the insane misrepresentation of what this virus is and the potential for permanent damage. I learned it was a vasculitis in March of 2020. I still don't think I've seen that fact referenced in mass media, not one time. It's always, just the flu. I've seen a handful of young healthy people that ended up on ventilation from influenza. I saw more people die from covid in six months than in the rest of my ten years working in hospitals combined. I've seen a lot of people die. Covid was so fucking different. So incredibly unfair.
Anyways back to your question, the younger you are, the higher the likelihood your body will repair most of the damage and you will regain function. The more issues you have that also cause damage to your vasculature, the less likely. And yes, the drugs for this issue will fix your problem. Temporarily.
Thank you comrade. I can't imagine how frustrating it has to be to work as a doctor through this, in this shithole country.
