Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Multiple sclerosis is a condition which affects the small vessels and nerves throughout the body including the penis. It is possible that the vascular supply and nerves to your penis are affected and causing severe ED. These symptoms are more during the first 3 to 24 months of the illness and might persist for a longer duration in some men. Your penis has not become shorter but there is apparent shortening due to the involvement of vessels and nerve fibers.

Please consult your doctor and continue treatment for ED and multiple sclerosis. Taking steroids alone is not a possible cause of your apparently reduced penis size which you have noticed. Please do not worry.
