title: Iatrogenic causes of erectile dysfunction.
abstract: Normal penile erection is a complex event dependent upon the proper sequential function of the endocrine, nervous, and vascular systems. Medical or surgical therapy can influence those systems and so cause erectile dysfunction. Physicians must understand these iatrogenic causes of erectile dysfunction in order to prevent or reverse them.
