Covid-19 after effects: Life-long battle for recovered patients: erectile dysfunction among others

Medical experts warn that those who recover may find themselves battling life-long side effects including erectile dysfunction. The secondary effects of drugs and the toll the actual virus may take on the body should be enough to convince people, who still believe that Covid-19 is not real, to take precautions, experts said yesterday. According to Dr Khayelihle Dube, Covid-19 causes inflammation throughout the body and affects a number of organs. He said loss of libido in both men and women, caused by a combination of factors, may occur after a person recovers from Covid-19.

“Erectile dysfunction may or may not happen as that is caused by two things, physical and psychological reasons. If a patient has brain fog and they have difficulties in thinking they may just be stressed which causes erectile dysfunction. Covid-19 can affect one’s arteries and to sustain an erection one needs a good blood supply so if arteries that are delivering blood to the penis are not working properly, then one won’t just have an erection or sustain one,” said Dr Dube.
