Anyone still have difficulty in keeping the erection after hip arthroscopy. I am at the 3 months point.

It's relatively uncommon for hip arthroscopy to directly result in erectile difficulties. However, there are some factors that may indirectly contribute:

  1. Medications: Some of the medications prescribed after surgery, such as pain relievers, might have side effects that influence erectile function.

  2. Pain: Experiencing pain can hinder sexual arousal and performance.

  3. Anxiety and Stress: Surgical procedures can be stressful events, and the recovery can come with its own set of anxieties. Stress and anxiety are well-documented contributors to erectile dysfunction.

  4. Limited Mobility: If you're still in recovery and don't have the full range of motion or are experiencing discomfort, it might be challenging to find a comfortable position for sexual activity.

  5. Blood Flow and Nerve Concerns: While rare, any surgical procedure near major blood vessels or nerves can potentially cause complications. Inadvertent injury or complications during or after the surgery could potentially affect various functions, including erectile function.

  6. Hormonal Changes: Some studies suggest that traumatic events, including surgeries, could temporarily affect testosterone levels, which in turn could impact erectile function.

If you're experiencing erectile difficulties after your hip arthroscopy, it's essential to speak with your orthopedic surgeon and potentially see a urologist to understand the cause and address the issue appropriately. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and may offer solutions or referrals to other specialists if needed.
