A member asked:

Can a lower back pain affect your penal erection or your sensitivity to have an erection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain and Erection: Any pain elsewhere in the body, can affect the ability to have an erection because the pain is a distraction that may interfere with the normal neurological response to stimulation.
