Bisoprolol :: Lost Libido And Erectile Dysfunction Caused
Nov 25, 2007
I have been informed that my ED (erectile dysfunction) could be caused by this drug. I am a heart patient having had Angioplasty on 3 arteries.

View 1 RepliesI believe I slowly am developing E.D. I am 65 years old, but do not have normal causes for E.D. At 5'10", 165#, BMI of 24. I work out 6+ hours a week at the gym. I do not smoke, drink, do drugs. I am not diabetic. I am on testosterone therapy, and my T level is around 650. I suffer from hypogonadism (forever) which is why I am on testosterone. It is not the problem since I used to get normal erections. I also had a T.U.R.P. operation around 8 years ago. I suspect it might be part of the problem. This problem only started during the last year or so.
I no longer get nocturnal erections. I can only get erections with manual stimulation. They take a lot longer to happen. I also lose them very quickly.
This is my question. The center portion of my shaft struggles to become erect. My penis thickens at the base, and also on the end starting near the circumcision scar. Right behind the circumcision scar is the worst area. My penis stays real limp for about an inch or so. That area does finally fill in at full erection, but it takes a minute or two to become fully erect. Since E.D. is lack of blood flow, might there be a blockage in that area?
Anyone feel that statin therapy has caused ED?
View 1 RepliesAfter medical review of this for the past 5 years.
---- To rule out cardiovascular disease, for ED is known to be a precursor.
---- Tests showing normal testosterone levels
After my husband's decline in interest intimately for three years preceding that five years.
After venomous denial regarding that the ED was the result of
---- Aging issues, medication (finasteride & HBP meds)
And much emotional hardship, as my husband wanted to truly believe his libido loss was due to one or all of the following:
---- Falling out of love
---- Being in a monogamous relationship
---- Something which his spouse did or didn't do, that he could not quite put his finger on.
Currently, spouse is considering going off finasteride (as a dr suggested) and trying natural remedies for enlarged prostate which includes:
---- Eventually stopping Finasteride (He has to be the one to stop)
---- Taking the following supplements:
Saw Palmetto Extract, Pygeum Extract, Nettles, Pumpkin Seed, Lycopene, zinc
I've just started him on zinc, Pumpkin seed & Lycopene, and will add the Saw Palmetto, Pygeum & Nettle combo soon.
I also plan to put him on L-Arginine which is suppose to assist with erections.
I have scanned the internet and do not see interaction of any of the above sups with that medication, and am tempted to put him on those for a month prior to him consenting to wean off of the Finasteride.
Does this seem a wise course of action, and have any of you gentlemen been on that medication while taking such herbal sups & vites?
Furthermore, have any of you run into other combinations that helped?
My spouse gives up easily, and I want this trial that he has consented to, to have the greatest chance of success possible.
What opened the door to this consenting to try was an 8 year support and sensual support without any demand or expectation from him. I didn't want to shut the door completely on intimacy, so despite insults and hostility, I stayed sensual, supportive and calm.... as I watched out for his physical and emotional health. I Provided massage, tantric touch which included prostate massage, encouragement and the occasional reminder that his erection could still work (when he let me to provide that). **** Ladies, if you can't get his ok, the massage will make him less guarded and then you may have access to provide that sexual release and confirmation he can still orgasm... Massage is great like that.
It's been a very long 8 years. Maybe other people have clearer vision at this point than myself, for I am in an emotional healing recover myself at this point as I continue to offer him support.
I am having some troubles since a while and I don't know what's happening, I am a 35 year old male and these are the symptoms I got:
- Loss of sex drive/desire and erectile dysfunctioning(I tried some pills like Cialis or viagra, it does help but the sex drive is not there all the time)
- Pain in my left lower back when sitting which irradiates in the thigh, testicles and groin
- Kind of throbbing pain around the coccyx (Prostate?)
- Last week and while defecating, I pushed a bit and I got a severe pain in my lower abdomen. I was sweating and felt very bad for about 10mn
- Numbness or slight loss of sensation in my hands and feet (More in the right side)
- Strange sensation in the rear of my neck or the low back of my skull
- Kind of lost interest in everything in life and I feel depressed and tired all the time also with a permanent slight headache.
I checked my PSA and got a cystoscopy 2 or three years ago but nothing was revealed. I also got a Varicocele embolization because we thought that was the reason of this uncomfort but it is even worst now.
9 years after 2 cardiac stents angina pain has returned. Doctor doubled my dose of Bisoprolol from 2.5 to 5 now I find my libido has gone from 50% to zero, no erection anymore, is this common, any way around it ?
View 1 RepliesI am a 51 year old male. My cholesterol was 256 and my doctor convinced me to take a statin in Jan 2013. I started simvastatin but my joints got so stiff I couldn't walk down stairs.
I switched to pravastatin ..only 10mg. I felt my joint in shoulder stiffen constantly (little league pitcher) but Dr said take if I can tolerate. Since I had chest pains for a few prior years I continued on the statin. MY Total cholesterol has slowly went down. I had no activity until 2014 when I pick up ice hockey.
However it is my belief my testosterone sank to only 400 along with my sexual desire. I will monitor my mood which has been very low for a few years, erectile dysfunction, testosterone level and total Cholesterol.
So I've been having partial E.D and I looked up vitamins to help. I wanted to know if taking these all together were bad. If so which should I stop. Which will help. I got vitamin c 1000 mg, vitamin E 1000 IU, zinc 50 mg, magnesium, B1 250 mg, saw palmetto 900 mg and super b complex. Is that to much to do once a day?
View 1 Repliesi am diabetic and now having problem of erectile dysfunction
View 1 RepliesI'm a male age 40. Recently my sex mood had been down & it is difficult for me to get aroused. My erection also are very poor & only once in awhile i'm getting a moderate erection & even that was only for a short duration. I do not have any pressure or diabetes.
How do i can get back into the mood? Is it true a man can achieve an erection up to the level where the penis is heading towards to the person's head as shown in the blue films? Is blue films is one of the reason for this problem?
What medicines or changes that I need to do to get back into the mood & have frequent & quality erection?
Me and my gf are teens and we are both virgins and we tried to have sex and she was sucking my penis and stroking it and I was fingering her and eating her out and I didn't have a boner at the time and I could not get one. It made me so disappointed at myself because I can get one alone. I have a 6 inch penis and it was only about a 3 when we was in bed. She thought it was her fault and everything and it's not bc she turns me on like there no tomorrow. I've got a boner with her before but we wasn't going to have sex or anything. (That was when we started dating) we've been dating for 6 months and we desire to have sex and I can get a boner. I haven't even wanted to have sex since then but it's only been a few days.
View 1 RepliesWondering if anyone else has had this issue or has suggestions on how to treat it. (It sounds strange, but it's true and troubling.)
I took Adderall regularly from 2011-2013 and had no ED issues, but delayed ejaculation. Since then, I've switched to a different antidepressant medication, and when I restarted the Adderall, I had ED.
I would watch porn and masturbate for up to 30 minutes before I could get an erection. When I did, I would have some pre-ejaculate (which I never had before). Once I got an erection, because it took so much work, I didn't want to lose it! So I would put on a c*** ring and edge for up to an hour before ejaculating. Even if I only took the Adderall a few days a week, these side effects and the subsequent cycle continued daily. I've stopped the Adderall, but I still have to masturbate a flaccid penis for up to 15 minutes before it gets erect, and like before, there's eventually pre-ejeculate, I get very hard, then can masturbate normally and eventually ejaculate.
I feel like the aggressive type of masturbation I used to produce an erection when I was taking the Adderall has completely altered my penis' reaction to stimulation. Now, 15 minutes of stimulation + porn produces pre-ejaculate and then an erection. Stimulation from a partner does nothing to arouse me. I now have to go through this process to get an erection.
I've never had ED issues before, or any trouble getting an erection when masturbating or with a partner. Now, after all the aggressive masturbation caused by the Adderall-ED issues, my penis' response is so drastically different, I'm worried and don't know what to do?
Will an ED med get me back on track? Do I have to avoid masturbation and porn for an extended period of time and then my arousal cycle will return to normal? I feel like I've literally retrained my penis on how to respond to stimulation, and I need to retrain it back to normal, but not sure what to do.
Has anyone else experienced this or have suggestions?
My husband is suffering from erectile dysfunction. We saw a sexologist. He has prescribed expensive herbal medicines. Is it curable?
View 1 RepliesI have been taking Bendro now for about five years for high blood pressure, and have problem with erectile dysfunction for about 18 months now, which is getting worse. When I skipped Bendro for 36 to 48 hours I get my erection back again, and I am almost 65!
View 1 RepliesI'm a 26 yo man. I'm eating healthy and i am very sporty.
The problem is that when i am with a girl, something is just blocking me to have an erection. I try, she tries, we tries. Nothing to do. And when i have a (semi-erection i am usually ejaculating after not even 5 seconds (really!).
When i'm masturbating I don't have any issues. I can have a good erection and it can last a while. Sometimes I masturbate 2-3 times a week, sometimes not for 2 weeks.
I discovered this problem with my first girlfriend when I was 20. It took us 4 months to have fairly good sex.
We thought it was because o the stress I had at that time as a student. But now I m travelling and have no stress at all. Still, not possible to have sex.
When i was younger i thought sex was like bicycling. You just have to train it to become better. But now, every time I "fail" in bed feels like I have to start to climb a mountain from the bottom again, and I never really get near to the top of it.
I tried a lot of stuff. Special "aphrodisiac" food, taking baths to relax, special gels, vitamins, even ayahuaska in Peru (drug to purify body and mind in the inca culture), talking to people, Talking to the girl about it before the sex or just the opposite (don't talk about it and try not to think about it), but nothing works.
Because i don't have any issues alone, it must really be something in my head.
I m sure you can understand the frustrations I have ! I love girls ! I never tried to have sex with a man, but I don't really want to. I don't see this as a solution.
There where "normal" man can have sex without any problem, i can't. My friends told me sometime they just need a little "tickle" and they have and erection, as for me it will take ages or it will never come.
I am 40 and just recently I am having trouble keeping an erection. I am also having trouble ejaculating. Even when I do ejaculate I don't feel the same release, and they seem smaller orgasms.
View 1 RepliesCan minoxidil contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED)?
Recently, I noted I can't have proper erection. I get my organ filled with blood but it quickly gets flaccid if mechanical stimulation is stopped. I do not have any morning erections either. It started to happen more or less 2/3 months ago (that's when I started using minoxidil 5% for hair growth). This is the only medication I'm using presently (and didn't use anything else for more than a year). I don't smoke, almost no alcohol, don't have any blood pressure problems or diabetes, no pornography, definitely no stress recently.
Interesting thing I read is: "Minoxidil is a vascular dilator. During a normal erection, the tunica and base of penis is constricted in a way not to allow blood to flow out. Minoxidil causes blood not to be able to stay in penis because it dilates the base of penis. This results in impotence or temporary erectile dysfunction."
Is it possible? Can stopping minoxidil help? What to do? I'm 23 years old.
when i have think sexual think or watching porn movie ,precum will come out .but i aslo mastrbution for last 1 year.but now problem is that it does not hard as 2 week before does erection for less 1 min and becomes soft. s it normal or what i can for this problem

View 1 RepliesWhat is the cure and cause of SEMI erectile problems? I stressed on SEMI because that is exactly my problem. I get a full erection when I masturbate and I do that daily; but during sex I don't get hard enough to enter. Is masturbation the problem, if yes then how can it be cured?
View 1 Replies30 years old, somewhat overweight but not in terrible shape, occasional drinker but not more than that, busy lifestyle (work a desk job and moderate exercise). No other biological issues other than that I suspect my father had/has been treated for low testosterone at some point. I sometimes feel like my sex drive mentally isn't what it should be as compared to other men, but I do think about it albeit with some apprehension at this point. I don't struggle with feeling attraction to women at all. I take a daily vitamin so I should be fairly well covered there.
My problems? My erections come slower than molasses and when they do come, I struggle to maintain them and they usually fade away within a couple of minutes, even while actively engaged in sexual relations. It is not for lack of confidence as I have been told that I am quite good in my bits and spurts, but I have never gotten off during sex despite desperately wanting to. I am capable of getting very hard but it rarely lasts long enough to have any kind of meaningful sex.
I also struggle with masturbation. I can make myself get hard by thinking about it, playing with myself, but the same problems occur - I can't get myself completely lost in it and my erection goes from very strong to non-existent in the span of a couple of minutes. There is one exception, however (and this isn't much fun to admit, but I figure it's the only way I can get help for my condition) - if I lie on the floor and rub myself against it as a form of masturbation, I can get quite hard and ejaculate just fine within a couple of minutes.
I'd like to have a normal and active sex life, because this has destroyed or at least undermined every relationship I have ever been in since I was a teenager (this has gone on since I was 1. I don't think there is anything drastically wrong with me physically since I still feel a semblance of sex drive and can ejaculate, but the blood flow and maybe the "immersion" in the moment just doesn't seem to be there.
I (FINALLY!) have an appointment with an urologist coming up in a couple of weeks, but I am in a relationship where I am mentally and physically ready to have sex, and I am dreading the same old of trying to take it to the next level and failing spectacularly. Does anybody have any idea of what might be afflicting me? Is this ED or is it possibly something else? I'm thinking about trying something like yohimbe (very small dose) or gingko as a short-term remedy, will these help me at all?
