Can hyperthyroidism cause erectile dysfunction and problems achieving and maintaining erections?

[Tehgoobz]

I'm 20 and I've recently had bloodwork done and I was told I have a high thyroid level. Could that possibly be the cause of the problems?

Don't know you can certainly look it up on google from reputable sources. There are different causes of erectile dysfunction

They say those with high blood pressure can only stay hard for half as long as their counterparts, and I know that hyperthyroidism does speed up your metabolic processes so I'd assume yeah.

Well I don't necessarily think I have high blood pressure, yeah I've heard about the metabolism too so you do think it's pretty likely? How could I resolve this?

I dunno man, I'm not a doctor (yet ) so I can only make big guesses from really wild leaps of logic that to most people who know a lot about this would probably call me crazy lol. Best thing is to talk to a doctor about it, they can treat hyperthyroidism.

I think thyroid problems can cause low testosterone, yeah. Get checked for testosterone specifically.

Also, try a supplement called ashwagandha/Indian ginseng (link has many studies proving its effectiveness). I've been taking 6g/day for a couple of months and it's great, I feel 10x more manly than before. Sleep better, less social anxiety, higher libido, faster facial hair and body hair growth, and I haven't noticed any side-effects. Apparently it speeds up musce growth quite a bit too, basically like taking low doses of roids, but it's hard to tell becase I'm still in the noob gains phase. My quads are definitely looking bigger though, despite me losing a few kilos and having noticeably less fat on my face and belly.

Now I just have to figure out why I had low test in the first place. I don't mind taking this stuff forever, it's not too expensive, but obviously I'd rather fix the actual problem.

Should probably visit a more appropiate site to avoid a bunch a broscience.

Iodine Selenium Zinc and Magnesium deficiency can cause thyroid dysfunction and low testosterone.

OP, I don't think we have any doctors on these boards. Please ask your doctor.

I don't think so.
Was diagnosed with Graves disease/Hyperthyroidism @ age 40 and still got the Morning Slumber Lumber and could nut 2x per day or more.
YMMV

I've heard Thyroid Disease can be linked to ED and a lot of other things. Best thing to do is just be open and talk about things with your doctor. I thought I was having issues one time, my doctor gave me a few Viagra pills as a "confidence" booster and havent needed them since...

Scoop some peen pills.

I keep them just in case. Sometimes on a second date where I know it's a lock I'll drop one just to insure max performance.
