As some doctor adviced me to test for spinal cord injury on a forum, I could not contact him back so I have to clear this out : is it possible to have spinal cord injury, a milder form but without paralysis ?
Check this link
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-...s/syc-20377890
It clearly states :
Spinal cord injuries of any kind may result in one or more of the following signs and symptoms:
- Loss of movement
- Loss or altered sensation, including the ability to feel heat, cold and touch
- Loss of bowel or bladder control
- Exaggerated reflex activities or spasms
- Changes in sexual function, sexual sensitivity and fertility
- Pain or an intense stinging sensation caused by damage to the nerve fibers in your spinal cord
- Difficulty breathing, coughing or clearing secretions from your lungs
If this is true, then doesn't it mean that only having ED / sexual numbness / sensitivity loss can be related to a spinal cord injury ? because it's a symptom from the list and it says that only one could indicate so.
Opinion ? should we (guys with erection prob) test for spinal cord injury / health too if I am right ?

Did you tell that Internet doc that you have suffered an injury that affected your spine and directly afterwards started suffering ED? If so, she/he may have correlated the injury to the possible ED cause. Otherwise, the correlation seems like quite a stretch.
Can spinal cord injuries result in outcomes other than paralysis - yes. Is it a common cause for ED - no, in fact it's a rare cause for ED and when it does affect erectile function, it often has also notably affected other functions. Unless you've experienced something that obviously injured your spine and suffered ED afterwards, your ED cause is FAR more likely from something else. If you're really worried about it, get off the Internet and see a doc.Start: BPEL 6.75', EG 5.8", BPFL 4.5", FG 4.7"
11/2020: BPEL 7.5”, EG 6.0”, BPFL 5.7”, FG 5.0"
Goal: BPEL 8.0", EG 6.0", BPFL 5.75" FG 5.0"
