The causes of erectile dysfunction or impotence can be divided into two broad groups: organic and non-organic.
Organic
Organic causes are related to physical problems, problems involving your body. Examples include:
* neurological deficits caused by diabetes, spinal cord injuries, or brain (cerebral) injuries
* physical injury (trauma)
* poor blood circulation caused by atherosclerotic disease often related to smoking
* inadequate blood vessel compression, which does not allow the erection to be maintained
* drug-induced changes that decrease erectile ability
Non-Organic
Non-organic causes are related to psychological factors. The non-organic causes of erectile dysfunction are less well understood. Personal issues, such as marital problems, performance anxiety, or lack of desire, can and do affect erectile ability. (This is also called psychogenic impotence.)
Antidepressants amitriptyline, doxepin, phenelzine
Benzodiazepines diazepam, midazolam
Anti-androgens medications for prostate cancer like flutamide (Eulexin) and leuprolide
Antihypertensives atenolol, propranolol, nifedipine, enalapril, thiazide, clonidine
Other digoxin, cimetidine
