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.

I had high cholesterol for years. I could not take cholesterol pills due to cramping in my legs. Fast forward.. Im not sure if Covid affected my blood vessels or if its claudication from high cholesterol. Anybody with high cholesterol needs to take it seriously. One angioplasty and two procedures later, I can honestly say, YOU dont want this pain. Its no joke wondering when and if a blood clot will suddenly kill you. As well as calf in leg, never stops hurting.
Very good info for all to know, every body must read, I recommend it.
