Hello Rakesh, haemorrhoids don’t directly cause erectile dysfunction, but yes, if you have an ongoing constipation problem and have to force or strain while passing stools that can cause weakness in your pelvic muscles overall and also can impact the quality of blood supply to your penis which can lead to issues like erectile dysfunction. First of all, get yourself evaluated from a proctologist, who will do a physical examination to find out whether you really have haemorrhoids that is piles, or it is some other issue like fissures or fistula. Try getting your haemorrhoid treated according to the degree either with diet, lifestyle correction or medication or if required with surgery, I will be has very good treatment options for haemorrhoids as well as for erectile dysfunction, but proper examination, history taking and more details are required. Also, erectile dysfunction can be aggravated with an ongoing stress, which could also be because of your haemorrhoids or constipation. Because all this things are related, it is better to evaluate everything properly.

Hemorrhoids, particularly if they are painful or large, can contribute to discomfort and stress, which may indirectly affect sexual performance, but they are not a direct cause of erectile dysfunction (ED). In your case, the loss of erection after passing stool may be linked to a combination of factors, such as pressure from hemorrhoids, discomfort, and psychological stress. The feeling of heaviness in the anus could indicate internal hemorrhoids or rectal swelling. Ayurvedically, this may point to an imbalance in Apana Vata, which governs the downward movement of bodily functions, including bowel movements and reproductive health.

To manage both the hemorrhoids and the potential ED, I recommend herbal formulations like Abhayarishta to regulate bowel movements and reduce strain, and Chandraprabha Vati for overall rejuvenation, especially for urinary and reproductive health. Local application of Jatyadi Taila or Panchavalkala ointment may help relieve hemorrhoid discomfort. Additionally, focusing on a high-fiber diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding spicy, fried foods will ease constipation and reduce hemorrhoid-related discomfort. Regular sitz baths with Triphala decoction can also provide relief. For erectile concerns, herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari may help improve stamina and reduce stress.
