Patient's question:
I am 41 years old this year, and I usually work quite busy. I also feel very tired physically. Recently, when having sex with my wife, I found that I couldn't get an erection. As a result, our marital relationship has also been affected. I really feel very distressed. Please ask: Can hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism cause erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Hypothyroidism can lead to premature ejaculation, but it is not inevitable. Each patient's condition is different, so the recurring symptoms can also vary. Currently, you have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. It is recommended that you seek timely treatment, take appropriate medication to alleviate symptoms, and consider radioactive iodine treatment or surgery if necessary. In daily life, pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and maintain a positive mood. Your lifestyle should be regular. Patients need to go to a formal, top-tier hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their specific conditions to achieve targeted treatment and recover quickly.
