You need to rest and recuperate. You might feel well but covid is an devious disease because it actually weakens you.

Take vitamin/iron supplements, eat clean and have enough sleep and do not exert yourself for at least 2 weeks.

Took at least a month for me to fully recuperate after I caught covid.

Wouldn't it be better for you to go see a doc first ?
There are conditions that can be triggered by covid that lead to your state, so the primary would not be covid, but what covid triggered.

COVID-19 and Erectile Dysfunction: What to Know

Researchers continue to learn more about COVID-19’s long-term impact on our bodies. Now they’re looking into the link between the virus and erectile dysfunction (ED). That’s when a person has a hard time getting or keeping their penis firm enough to have sex.
What’s Causing It?

Researchers think three things may trigger ED in COVID-19 survivors:

Cardiovascular problems. ED can be an early sign of heart disease. Research also shows COVID-19 can affect heart health. That’s because it can lead to inflammation in various parts of your body. This includes your heart and the blood vessels and veins nearby.

COVID-19 has also been linked to endothelial dysfunction. That’s when the inner lining or wall of blood vessels stays stiff instead of expanding and contracting to allow blood flow. This can affect how blood is pumped and carried through your body, including tissue in the penis. Disrupted blood supply to your penis can make it difficult to get or keep an erection.

Mental issues. COVID-19-related stress, anxiety, and depression can also impact sexual health and possibly lead to ED.

Poor overall health. Experts say ED is usually a symptom of another medical condition. If your health isn’t great to begin with, you’re more likely to have severe or unwanted symptoms from COVID-19, such as ED.

Older age can also increase your risk for both ED and a severe form of COVID-19 infection.
What’s the Evidence Behind It?

One study found that people infected with the virus were more than 5 times more likely to develop ED. In another small study, researchers took penis tissue samples from two men who’d been infected with COVID-19. One had had severe symptoms, the other mild. The samples were taken before both men had surgery for severe ED symptoms. The scientists found COVID-19 viral particles and endothelial dysfunction long after the two men first had their infections.

It’s still too early to know for sure what the long-term effects of the virus are on sexual and reproductive health.

What Can You Do?

ED as a side effect of COVID-19 can be short- or long-term. But experts aren't not sure if these complications can lead to issues with fertility.

Tell your doctor right away if you think you have ED, especially after a COVID-19 infection. They’ll ask about your medical history and give you a physical exam. They might also order lab tests or refer you to a urologist. That’s a doctor who specializes in treating problems in the male reproductive tract. They’ll figure out what’s causing your ED and come up with a treatment plan.

Experts recommend getting the COVID-19 vaccine to lower your risk of ED as a side effect.

Long COVID
Treatment
FAQ
Takeaway

COVID-19 can have wide-reaching effects on your body, including blood vessel and nerve damage and brain injury. These effects could interfere with your body’s ability to develop or maintain an erection.

COVID-19, which stands for coronavirus disease 2019, develops from the virus SARS-CoV-2.

Despite several studies looking into COVID-19, long COVID, and erectile dysfunction (ED), experts still don’t know whether a conclusive link exists. However, research on the topic has grown since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some studies suggest that COVID-19 may increase a person’s risk of ED. Other research hasn’t found a strong enough relationship between the two.
What does the research say about COVID-19 and erectile dysfunction?

Some studies have found a link between COVID-19 and ED. One, published in 2023, found that a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection linked to a 27%Trusted Source increased risk of developing ED.

A 2021 studyTrusted Source involving almost 500,000 people also concluded that COVID-19 linked to ED significantly.

Others foundTrusted Source an increased riskTrusted Source, too. But some tended to be small in scale.

COVID-19 may also affect people with preexisting ED, with researchers finding that the virus can worsen EDTrusted Source.

Why might COVID-19 affect erectile function? Well, there are a few potential answers.
Endothelial cell damage

Endothelial cells line blood vessels. COVID-19 can damage these cells and stop the lining from expanding and contracting.

This stiffness can affect blood flow to your penis, which is necessary for getting and maintaining an erection.

The virus can also interfere with pathwaysTrusted Source that your body uses during erections.

It’s this damage experts believe to be the most likely reasonTrusted Source for COVID-19’s link to ED.
Neurological effects

COVID-19 can have wide-reaching effects on your body, including neurological (brain and nerve) ones.

Brain injury from the virus could affect nerves that are necessary for an erection.
Psychological effects

Another factor to consider is how COVID-19 and ED affect mental health. Some research links COVID-19 to several mental health conditions that can play a role in developing ED.

Some experts have found that the higher risk of ED in people with a history of COVID-19 could be due to stress, anxiety, or depression associated with the virus.
Other health conditions

Certain health conditions can make people with COVID-19 more at risk of developing complications. Other medical conditions also have ED on their symptom lists.

So, other health conditions may make someone with COVID-19 more likely to develop ED.

One small 2022 studyTrusted Source found that people with diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions had a higher risk of ED after developing COVID-19.
What does the research say about long COVID and erectile dysfunction?

Long COVID can affect multiple bodily systems. So, ED could be a complication.

But research into the topic is limited, including whether a link exists and what might cause it.

One larger 2022 studyTrusted Source did find that erectile function improved after 3 months of developing COVID-19.

However, high levels of ED were still present during the third month of recovery, particularly in people above 40 years old or in those with major depression.

A different 2023 study found that ED linked to COVID-19 may improve with time, especially the first year after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
What can you do to help treat erectile dysfunction?

If COVID-19 has contributed to ED, it may improve naturally with time.

Consider making an appointment with a healthcare professional to discuss your symptoms. They can help identify or confirm the underlying cause and make treatment recommendations.

For example, lifestyle changes may result in improvements for some. This could be anything from upping exercise and cutting back on less nutritious foods, smoking, and alcohol to therapy for mental health support.

If you have another underlying health condition that could be contributing to ED, treating this may also help.

Medications also exist. Pills such as sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn), and tadalafil (Cialis) can boost blood flow to your penis.

There’s also an injection called alprostadil (Caverject, Edex, Muse), which you can receive as a penile suppository if preferred to help get an erection.

You may need to try several options before finding one that works.

Surgery to insert a prosthetic implant is also an option if the others don’t work for you.
Other frequently asked questions
If you already have erectile dysfunction, are you more likely to develop COVID-19?

Due to the lack of research, it’s hard to say.

One 2021 studyTrusted Source did find people with ED were more likely to experience COVID-19. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you may have a higher risk of developing COVID-19 if you have ED.

One study isn’t enough information to draw any solid conclusions.
Can getting vaccinated against COVID-19 help prevent related erectile dysfunction?

This is yet another area where no answers are available yet.

A 2022 surveyTrusted Source found no link between COVID-19 vaccinations and an increased risk of ED in people ages 45 years and older.

But no research exists yet into the opposite relationship.

Theoretically, though, if COVID-19 could increase the risk of ED, then helping protect yourself against it via vaccines could reduce the risk of such complications.
Does your risk for erectile dysfunction increase with subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infections?

There’s no definitive conclusion here yet.

If COVID-19 can make ED more likely to occur, then multiple bouts of COVID may only increase that risk.
How long does COVID-19-related erectile dysfunction last?

Studies have shown different results. One from 2022 found improvement 3 monthsTrusted Source after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection, whereas another from 2023 noted ED getting better the first year after developing COVID-19.

Treatment may still be necessary in some cases.
The bottom line

The available research shows a person with COVID-19 might be 2.64 times more likely to develop ED. This could be due to the physical and psychological effects the virus can have on your body.

COVID-19 could also worsen existing ED symptoms. More large-scale studies are necessary to determine whether a relationship between the two exists.

When did you have covid? How long has it been since your full recovery? How old are you now and do you have any pre-existing conditions like hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol issues? If you have hypertension or diabetes, better see a doctor instead of getting drugs without doctor's prescription.

When I had covid, it took me two months to fully recover. Don't talk about sex life... normal walking can also leave me slightly breathless. The body needs proper rest. try to sleep before 11 pm. My friend told me that according to TCM, sleeping before 11 pm helps the body to recover. I tried it given that I don't have to eat any medicine or do anything extra. My cholesterol levels dropped once I have regular 7-8 hours of sleep.
