Can a Hernia Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

Yes, especially inguinal hernias located near the groin. They can compress or irritate nerves and blood vessels involved in erections. Even after hernia surgery, temporary ED is common due to swelling, nerve trauma, or fear of pain during intercourse.

When to Suspect a Hernia-Linked ED

• You have a bulge in the groin or lower abdomen
• There’s testicular discomfort or numbness
• ED began soon after hernia symptoms or surgery

How to Support Recovery

Focus on healing first, then use mild ED support like supplements or tablets that promote blood flow gently without pressure.
