Hello,
When you undergone colonoscopy? There no much correlation between both.
But few studies have shown that 60% of people who undergone colonoscopy may show transient ED.
So don't worry if your erectile dysfunction not recover means you may consult with your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
