Yes, it could be related. Pitavastatin (Pivasta 4 mg) can rarely cause low libido or erectile issues, though this is uncommon. Do not stop it on your own. Other causes of erectile dysfunction should also be evaluated.

Dear Practo User,
Let me explain you about your issue in brief -
Often frequent masturbation leads to erection problems and penis shrinkage. It seems to me you have been indulged in doing masturbation and watching porn alot.
Does it happen you get little Erection you feel you should go in and the moment you try to enter it goes down and it’s not hard enough for you to penetrate? Sometimes even if you penetrate you seem to lose your Erection soon?
At some point in a man’s life, he may have difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. Erection problems occur when you can’t achieve or maintain an erection that’s firm enough to have sexual intercourse. Erection problems are also known as:
* erectile dysfunction (ED)
* impotence
* sexual dysfunction
In your case I believe you have developed symptoms of Erectile dysfunction.
However this issue is not a major problem to worry as there are medications and treatment available for the same. Rest assured your problem can be resolved.
You can contact me directly through my website for online or in person consultation - https://www.drfayyazsexologyclinic.com

A recent onset of low libido and difficulty maintaining erections deserves attention, especially since you mention that the symptoms began after starting Pitavastatin (Pivasta 4 mg). While statins are generally prescribed to manage cholesterol and are well tolerated by most individuals, some people report changes in sexual function after starting a new medication. However, it is important not to automatically assume that the medication is the sole cause.
Erection quality and sexual desire can be influenced by many factors, including stress, anxiety, poor sleep, fatigue, relationship concerns, diabetes, high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, and cardiovascular health. Since your symptoms started recently and appear to coincide with the initiation of a new medication, the timing is worth discussing with the prescribing physician.
Next Steps
Do not stop or alter the prescribed medication on your own. Instead, observe whether the symptoms continue, worsen, or improve over the next few weeks. Consider whether there have been any other recent changes in your health, stress levels, sleep pattern, physical activity, or relationship status that may also be contributing. If the problem persists, a detailed assessment is advisable to evaluate the overall picture rather than focusing only on the medication. Understanding the onset, severity, and associated symptoms can help determine the most likely cause and guide appropriate management. For personalized assessment, better guidance, and a holistic treatment approach for low libido and erectile concerns, you may connect with us at 9 3 1 5 6 6 1 5 6 5.
Health Tips
Ensure adequate sleep, regular exercise, stress management, and a balanced diet. Avoid tobacco and excessive alcohol if applicable. Stay physically active, as good cardiovascular health is closely linked to sexual health. Try not to repeatedly test your erections, as anxiety about performance can itself worsen the problem. Since the symptoms are recent, early evaluation and addressing potential contributing factors often lead to better outcomes and greater peace of mind. Thank you
