Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Yes, Covid-19 infection causes endothelial dysfunction but it is not common. However, this complication has nothing to do with ED.

COvid can cause a lot of problems, but the best studied are respiratory and neurological. There is no long term study of its affect on erectile dysfunction. To guess- effect on erectile tissue should be negligible
