Can Cycling Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

Believe it or not, excessive cycling can contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED). Prolonged pressure on the perineum area (between genitals and anus) can compress nerves and arteries that supply the penis.

Risks for Cyclists

• Reduced blood flow from saddle pressure
• Numbness or tingling after rides
• Chronic use may cause long-term effects

Protect Yourself

Use padded saddles, change positions often, and take rest days. If symptoms arise, reduce distance and consult a doctor.
