How To Treat Vitamin D Deficiency With Penile Numbness And Erection Dysfunction While On 60,000 IU Of Vitamin D?
HI, I have recently been diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency after experiencing pins and needles around my body. Unfortunately my penis was also effected. I have been on 60,000 IU of Vitamin D for 3 weeks now but am experiencing penile numbness and an inability to achieve a full erection. I try masturbating and my penis feels tired, numb and pretty lifeless. Should I stop touching it for a week or so? will it repair itself once My levels are back to normal? I have never experienced problems before. Please help! I am 25 and worried!

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Hypocalcemia can affect the penile erection as well. Yes you need to wait for a week to see the response. You may try to masturbate, but this may take time to heal.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
