I am 24 year aged male, i was on isotretinoin for 6 months ( by consultation of a qualified dermatologist) for 20mg/day. My last dose of isotretinoin was may 2021. I have been getting erectile problems since July 2021. Can there be any possibility of isotretinoin causing my erectile problems??

Although isotretinoin, a drug used to treat severe acne but it has various side effects ranging from sexual effects. Erectile problems can arise due to various reasons, though there have been cases where isotretinoin has impacted sexual function; still everyone reacts differently. There is a possibility of the connection due to your symptoms starting after stopping use for few months ago. But only a health care professional can ascertain whether isotretinoin may be potentially involved and should also look into other possible reasons why you have erectile problems.

The problem of erectile dysfunction may seem concerning but it's curable.. 

your problem of erectile dysfunction most commonly occur in ages of men: fortunately it has high recovery rate of 90% through ayurvedic medications.
I am explaining briefly about erectile dysfunction so that it takes fear out of you.
In erectile dysfunction, men are not able to get or keep an erection that is sufficient to have penetrative sex. This may be due to so many factors like High cholesterol, High blood pressure, Diabetes, excessive masturbation, excessive Porn watching, nerves weakness, Obesity, thyroid, heart problem, alcohol, Tobacco use, Sleep disorders. Low testosterone, tension, stress etc.,
This problem of erectile dysfunction is very much treatable.
I am suggesting you some ayurvedic medicines,
Take Aswagandhadi churan half teaspoon in the morning & in the night.
Take Capsule SHILAJIT One in the morning and one in the night.
Take tablet Brihat Bangeshwar ras one in the morning one and one in the night after food.
All three preferably with hot milk or with water
Also apply and message Shri Gopal tail on your penis three times a week for 2 to 4 minutes.
Avoid junk food, oily and more spicy food, alcohol, tobacco, tension and anxiety.
Start doing brisk walk or running or cardio exercises for at least 1 hour a day.
Start taking hot milk twice a day also two to three dates in the morning and in the night with milk.
Do all the above suggested treatment for 3 months and see the results.
If you don't get satisfactory results then please go to your family doctor or a good sexologist.
You can also contact me on my private chat or directly in my clinic. We can send you the medicines by courier.
