Erectile dysfunction is classified as an inability to achieve or maintain erection and an inability to ejaculate. This dysfunction can be the result of systemic disease, anxiety, trauma, or a side effect of drugs (particularly beta blockers and antidepressants). Treatment for infertility, high testosterone levels, and increased libido are not possible causes of erectile dysfunction. Infertility treatment is not correlated with ED. Low testosterone levels and diminished libido can be associated with ED.
