The Veterans Disability Nexus

Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses the relationship between Erectile Dysfunction and Back Pain and VA disability compensation
Leah explores the link between erectile dysfunction (ED) and back pain in veterans. She emphasizes the importance of discussing ED with healthcare providers, given its common occurrence and the embarrassment it often causes. Leah outlines various risk factors for ED, including heart disease, diabetes, mental health conditions, and medication side effects. Specifically, she highlights how back pain, particularly resulting from spinal injuries or conditions like disc herniations, can lead to ED. This is supported by studies she references, indicating a significant prevalence of ED in patients with lumbar spine issues. Leah stresses the multifactorial nature of ED in the context of VA disability, considering overlapping factors like mental health and medication.
