standing erection

[lifeguard25]

Hi I have a kinda strange problem. I can get an erection while lying/sitting down (the erection is much stronger if my legs are unbent) but I am an unable to get an erection while standing. It is also strange because I get morning erections quite frequently but lose them shortly after standing up and moving about. I took accutane when I was 16 and I'm not sure if I should attribute my erection problem to taking this drug or not.

What would be especially useful, if people post who also have this problem state whether they took accutane (or any 5AR inhibitor) or not. I hoping my problem is due to something other than accutane (like blood pressure or something) but I'm not sure.

Might be something you should ask your doctor about. ED is a listed side effect of Accutane, so it may be an issue caused by having taken it in the past. There's chances that it's not caused by Accutane, but blood pressure issues as you said, but that all depends on the person. A physical would be able to lead you in the right direction as well as a discussion with your doctor on the issue.

hey i took acutane too, maybe thats why i cant get an erection standing, do you think its permanent

No, now please stop trying to derail other threads for your own purpose and go see a damn doctor. This entire forum is not for you to go around and claim venous leak or ED over and hijack other users' threads.

okay well im not saying venous leak, but i do remember the start of my erections going wrong was right after i started taking accutane...so do you think its related and would i fix it and i cant see a doctor

Why can't you see a doctor? He will give you a 100% answer rather than speculating what it could be.

I took Acutane for several years as a teenager. And with only one slight injury that I've just recovered from, my erections have always been a near 10 for most of my life. Standing, sitting - doesn't affect EQ.

Do you ever get pains running down the inside of either leg? I'm not a doctor, but what you have sounds like it could be vein related (as in varicosed veins, especially the ones that run down the inside of the leg from the pubic area). It sounds as if there is a circulatory cause. Will be interesting to see what the doctor says. Don't leave his office until he gives you a treatment indication or a referral.

I have something similar to the same problem. I can get an erection while standing but its not as big as when Im sitting. Im about 6 BPEL sitting and 5.5 standing. Does this happen to anyone else?

Technically its not the same problem since I CAN get an erection while standing but it sucks knowing I wont be able to go as deep while standing as I can if Im sitting.

My best erections are also when I am lying down but I never took Accutane. Also, my morning wood is the best erection I can get - a real 10. When I'm awake, getting to 10 is hit and miss.
