There are many reasons for ED including hormonal disruptions, poor diet, stress, medications, etc. These issues do not show up on a CT scan. I would follow up with a family doctor to thoroughly investigate the list of potential triggers.

ED can be caused by many things which need to be investigated by a Urologist sub specializing in ED. It is a good sign that these tests are normal .Once the cause is found and treated you will be fine. Good luck
