Can vitamin deficiency play a role in erectile dysfunction?

Q. I was curious to know if erectile dysfunction can be caused by, or in part by vitamin deficiency. Does any doctor know anything about this? How common is erectile dysfunction in young men? (25 and under.)

A. Yes and no... ED in younger men is a Symptom of something else... get a check up...


ME!

Is it possible to treat vit B12 deficiency without taking suppliments, ie. only through dietary changes?
Q. I have been a vegetarian for last 10 years and an ocassional drinker. Lately i am experiencing many b12 deficiency symptoms - tingling in hands/legs, chapped lips, canker sores, fatigue, drowsiness etc. I have started eating 2 eggs and drinking one litre milk daily. Is it possible to treat it this way or should I get vitamin capsules?

A. Nope...eating foods containing B vitamins only maintains good levels of B12. When you have a defiency it is a lot harder to treat with diet aline, you need to have the supplements....your doctor may even suggest a B12 injection.

A. first get a b12 level done before you self diagnose.. 2nd if you have pernicous anaemia and your b12 is low taking any source but injectable wont work
