Both are signs of old age. Also, the distraction from the pain/irritation of hemorrhoids can definitely lead to ED. I’d talk to a medical professional about it though, as very few of us on Yahoo! Answers are medically certified.
No. Hemorrhoids are caused by straining due to constipation. ED has many causes –high blood pressure, anxiety, snoring–but constipation is not a contributing cause.
Not obviously.
If the hemorrhoids are just plain old hemorrhoids, I’d say that there is no connection (unless maybe they are really big, you are embarrased about them and there is a psychological hang up causing the ED). Also if they are very painful that again could cause a problem, even if under other circumstances you wouldn’t have ED.
If the hemorrhoids are actually a consequence of some other underlying disorder (quite unlikely) ,such as cirrhosis of the liver, then the endocrine consequences of that disorder could conceivably be causing the problem.
ED has a lot of causes – some of it is psychological – stress in the relationship, for example.
However there are a number of medical causes of ED and you should see your doctor to try to sort this out.
-Many medications can cause this.
-Also two common physical causes of ED are (1) an insufficient blood supply to the area – related to hardening of the arteries (sometimes ED is the very first sign that a man is developing hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) and (2) neurological problems. People with diabetes are prone to develop ED because they often have hardening of the arteries and diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage related to diabetes) .
The list of other things that can cause ED is very long, though they are less common – thyroid problems, a tumor in the pituitary gland, etc, etc.
Bottom line – see your doctor. If they find a specific problem they may be able to treat it. If not there are a number of medications that can help to ameliorate the problem.

there is no relationship between the two totally different causes
