Erectile dysfunction
This is not a common occurrence, but it is possible for PAD to cause erectile dysfunction, Dr. Slovut says. The internal iliac arteries provide the blood supply for erections.
If both are closed or severely clogged, it can cause erectile dysfunction (ED).
“The number of patients who have ED on the basis of a vascular problem is a minority of them. I don’t see it a lot, but it can be a vascular problem,” Dr. Slovut says.
