Had Belly Button Surgery. Have Problem Getting An Erection. On Zinc Supplements. What Might Have Gone Wrong?

Yes, I need an answer to my ED problem. After I had Belly Button surgery, I started seeing erection problems and it kept getting worse as years went by, now its really bad. I am taking D3 / Zinc and Test-O-Jack(Herb) and I'm still having major problems. I had my "T" levels checked and its at the lower end of the scale. What do you think could be wrong?

Hi and sorry to hear about this erectile dysfunction. No man feels comfortable having this and talking about it is very challenging. I congratulate you for standing strong to fight the ED.

I am certain the belly button surgery has no cause-effect relationship with this ED. they may make a rare association but not directly related.

Also, what is your age? How low were the T levels? Do you get up with early morning erections? Is it with all sexual partners or a few? Do you have any other illnesses like diabetes? Do you consume alcohol/tobacco?
We need more of these answers before we can get into specifics.

having low T alone can explain this problem. But then, we cannot jump to this conclusion without having some more basic information from you. Also, looking for the case of the low T if that is the final conclusion is worth investigating.

I will suggest you meet and discuss this problem with your doctor.
Hope you find this helpful.
Feel free to come back for more information.
Wish you good health
