Long term use of painkillers like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) that reduce inflammation and pain may cause sexual dysfunction like erectile dysfunction. Approximately 30% of the male patients taking NSAIDs reported moderate or severe erectile dysfunction. If you are taking NSAIDs and feel that your erectile function decreased then you must consult doctor.
