Thyroid Trouble And Leg Pain After Sex

Yes. Theoretically speaking it can lead to Erectile Dysfunction. However, since your thyroid gland is malfunctioning we have to find out whether other Endocrine (hormone) glands are also malfunctioning. Many hormonal imbalances can induce problems of erection.

Q I am a 25-year-old sexually active man. Whenever I have sex I get a pain in my right leg. It lasts for 15 minutes after ejaculation. I have no any other diseases. What can I do to recover from this problem?

It may be due to your coital posture. Your leg may be put under strain in certain postures. This may compress the nerve roots and cause the pain. Or you may have varicose veins in the leg which will be under pressure due to the muscular contractions during the intercourse. You need to consult a doctor in person for a proper assessment.
