Another day and another reason to get yourself vaccinated against COVID-19. Read how men may experience short-term erectile dysfunction due to COVID-19 that could become a permanent condition if left untreated.

Few researchers also speculate that there may be an independent factor that results in both ED and coronavirus. Studies are being conducted to determine the relationship between COVID-19 and ED.
An online survey from Sex@COVID concluded that COVID-19 increases ED after considering the following factors derived from the responses of 985 sexually active male participants who were aged 18 years or above.
The online survey provided direction for researchers to move further, while few dispute that it is wise to test the patients rather than going by self-diagnosed online surveys. Here are a few limitations of the online survey:
Though researchers are in a dilemma, medical practitioners fear late detection of erectile dysfunction due to COVID-19 could jeopardize the future human population.
