Does Telsartan CT tablets cause ED
Dr. Shyam Gupta
Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Hello Ali. Probably not. There are lot other reason for ED. Erectile problems can be happen to people at any age having issue like stress, fatigue, disturb relationship, anxiety, Alcohal, smoking and medical problems like High BP, Diabetes, obesity etc. My personal advice is lifestyle changes like exercising, losing weight, stopping smoking,curbing alcohol, don't wear tight pants, do pelvic kegal exercise. There are medications but they have side effects so i dont advice first. But i strongly recommend to start healthy life with some antioxidant vitamins and healthy diet. You may take vitamin like DHEA cap, L arginine and herbal ashwagandha capsule. Apply Himcolin gel. Concentrate on Yoga and meditation and also take help from your partner. Use these for couple of months if not improved do few blood tests like thyroid, sugar and testosterone and let me know.
