Brief Answer:
You need to give little detail about your illness.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. Disperzyme or epry both are usually not associated with erectile dysfunction. I wold suggest you following.
1. None of these medicines has any role in disc herniation. So you should stop them.
2.Please tell me your complete profile like your age, Your drugs and any other disease history?
3.Are you a smoker? It can also cause erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction can be due to mental anxiety. If there is erection of penis in morning time then it confirms mental causes.
So I would suggest you to please send answers of these questions. I will try my best to help you.
thanks

Brief Answer:
it can be due to anxiety

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your causes. I think most probabaly it is due to anxiety or work pressure. It is most common cause. Also thyroid patient may have such symptoms. So I would suggest you to meet a psychiatrist and discuss this. I can assure you that your erection will be normal after taking care of anxiety and work pressure.

If it is due to low thyroid than you may need to take care of thyroid. Normal reports are not good enough as this means there is normal level of hormone when you did your blood test.

Rosuvas is also known to cause impotence. So you can discuss this with your physcian.

I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
