What Causes Erectile Dysfunction And Low Libido While On Vasotec And Aspirin?

I m a fifty-three year old male who suffers from chronic high blood pressure. I suffered a full cardiac arrest at the age of thirty-seven. Fortunately, I was able to receive immediate medical attention that saved my life. I was diagnosed with a condition tat is referred to as ventricular fibrillation. In the process, doctors put an ICD and I was put on various medications for the last sixteen years. I am currently on just two medications, Vasotec 10 mgs, one dose taken twice a day and 81 mgs of Aspirin, one dose taken once a day. My question is my ability to maintain and keep an erection until I ejaculate. I noticed that my libido is almost non-existent, I also have only one testicle since I was fourteen years old. (Suffered a torsion). What recommendation and/or suggestions do you have for me to approach my physician with? Thank you for your immediate attention in this pertinent matter. Respectively yours, Cannie S Hamilton

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the Vasotec contains Enalapril (10 mg) used as an Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor molecule. Though erectile dysfunction is not a directly known side effect of the Vasotec, dizziness and weakness are pronounced side effects. The erectile dysfunction and loss of libido may be of direct sequence of this ill effect. Aspirin is not known to cause such issue. Kindly discuss the same with your family doc during your next scheduled visit.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
