Yes, radiation is a well known cause of ED that can, as you point out, develop over time. But also remember that there are many other causes of ED that can develop independently from the radiation so please dont assume it is from the XRT- get checked out to be sure it is not from blood vessel disease such as coronary artery issues in your heart or vascular issues, or diabetes, thyroid, liver issues to name a few. Many medications cause ED and many times it just happens as we age. Good luck.View Thread



The erection thing is probably more related to age, medications, artery damage, high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. You should see your doctor and talk about options such as Viagra and Cialis and Levitra. They work great in men with some issues but not total ED.View Thread
