can holding urination all night cause ED
One night I before I went to bed I knew I should have gone to the bathroom but held it. So I slept about 6 or 7 hours holding back my urination. Since then I have noticed a decrease in my ability to get erections.
It's kind of scary to think about but could holding urination all night cause erectile dysfunction? During this time I have also noticed a pain and discomfort in my prostate.

It can be due to holding in urination. You can cause an increase in interstitial fluid pressure, pushing fluid into capillaries, this expanding, causing damage to the blood vessels that supply the area. Many are too quick to say it’s a prostate issue, but not well versed in starling forces,
Net filtration pressure = (Pc - Pi) - (Nc - Ni)
Pc - capillary pressure - pushes fluid out of a capillary
Pi - interstitial fluid pressure - pushes fluid into a capillary
Nc - plasma colloid osmotic pressure - pulls fluid into capillary
Ni - interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure - pulls fluid out of a capillary.
If your onset of ED was sudden after with holding voiding (urination), i would assume the underlying eitiology would be damage to your blood vessels, rather than a prostate issue.
Don’t hold back urination.

I can't imagine you could injure yourself by holding it all night but who knows.
So you think this is more to a possible prostate problem than an injury I could have done to my penis.

STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
