Hi there,
I am a 25 year old male who has recently been diagnosed with severely low Vitamin D levels. Just 2 weeks ago I was having no problems getting or maintaining an erection. However since then I gained symptoms such as weakness, fatigue and pins and needles in my extremities (including penis). I of course went to my GP who ran blood tests and told me of this severe Vitamin D issue. Now I don't seem to be waking up with a morning erection and cannot get a full one until the point of ejaculation. Where as before hand I was almost always feeling something down there, i now seem to feel nothing.
I have been put on a course of supplements (60,000 IU OF VITAMIN D3 A WEEK FOR 12 WEEKS). I have taken one weeks worth and am still experiencing problems, most alarmingly numbness of my penis. I am worried I damaged my penis masturbating whilst suffering from the low vitamin levels (i remember touching myself whilst feeling pins and needles elsewhere in my body).
Should I be concerned? do you think it is because of my Vitamin levels, and if I am patient my problem will resolve?
Thanks for your help, I am of course very worried. As a young man it is a big part of my life! Has happened so suddenly and just feels weird.
Thanks in advance for your help.
