A member asked:
Can scoliosis cause ed? my l5 is pinched, which is also the area of my scoliosis.

Doubtful: To cause ED from nerve involvement, typically nerve roots from l2, 3, and 4 need to be involved. L5 is mos likely too low to be the cause.

It is possible: Reflex erections are controlled by spinal nerve roots s2-s4, so it is possible that your spinal problem may be contributing to your erectile dysfunction. You should see a urologist to ahev a full evaluation. Your neurologist will be able to help advise you as well.
