I am having ed after inguinal hernia surgery. a mesh was placed in me. i am very worried, i will not be the same. can i have an explanation of to why.

Unusual: It would be highly unusual to have long-term or permanent ED after undergoing inguinal hernia surgery with mesh placement. May be due to postop pain for now. Are you still having pain? Please check with your surgeon.
