When a boy, say 11 years old gets mumps, could that cause erectile dysfunction as an adult?
My husband had a severe case of mumps when he was a boy. He is a little over 60 now, and never fathered children, although he and his first wife adopted children. He is concerned about the small size of his penis, and the fact that he does not acquire an erection easily, nor maintain an erection, and there is almost no fluid from him when he does ejaculate. He can and does acquire an erection early in the morning, and sometimes we make love then. I reach an orgasm easily, but I would like for my husband to be as satisfied as he makes me feel. He has taken Viagra in the past when he was married to his first wife; (he also had a back injury early in his marriage) hence being treated for ED. When WE became engaged, he saw his doctor to get medication for ED, and the Dr. prescribed Levitra (fewer side effects, and doesn't even have to take 1/2 a pill. A third of a pill is effective at night, and also in maintaining an erection in the morning, too.) My husband is an awesome husband, and he says I turn him on. I am happy with him, but at the same time, I am concerned about HIS well being. It was a big chance we were taking, because we did not engage in sexual activity until after we were married. I am 4 years younger than my husband and had been married and had children with someone else. We both were divorced under circumstances we did not choose, and our former spouses each chose to leave us. We met after 3 years of being single, and married the following year. We have been happily married for nearly 7 months; we plan on a happy marriage for the duration of our lives.
My main question is this: Could it have been the mumps that caused some or all of the symptoms of my husband's ED? or could it have been the lower back injury that was the cause? or both?
