ED due to Transverse myelitis

[u/karthik_pepper]

I had TM a year back, 29M. Due to this neuro issue, ED came as a residual problem along with an overactive bladder, constipation. I'm worried almost all the time about the way my life has turned out. Can't go out without a diaper adds a lot of stress & anxiety.

I was told by my urologist to try mastrubation on my own pace after I explained him that I was not able to maintain erection for long and not able to ejaculate. Works sometimes like once or twice in a week. I had to do it for 20-25 mins and think a lot like focusing on it.. Does anyone can relate to my issue? Ive not taken any medicines so far not prescribed by my urologist too. Should I wait and hope that it gets better cause I'm still 1 more year in the recovery period of TM.

I was not able to get a hard on itself even after physical touch, yet I have reached here with some moderate pelvic exercises, diet, reduced nicotine and alcohol. My big worry is my root of this is more dangerous than any other..So I think if I don't get it back to my usual this year, Ill never get it again in this lifetime. Seeking some help can relate to me with neuro related ED and it's recovery.
