i'm not positive, but i belive prostate hypertrophy can restrict bloodflow to the penis... the test/dht could be making your prostate swell and giving you erection problems... again, this isn't based on a medical report sitting in front of me, but i believe it to be true... maybe someone who isn't at work (or not as busy at work
) can verify or contradict.
This is probably the answer. Do you have any other signs of prostate swelling like maybe an abnormal ache now and then between your belly button and your groin? You may have symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) or swelling of the prostate.

If you scored mainly 'A's you have no difficulty passing urine, and nothing to worry about.
If you scored mainly 'B's you have some symptoms of BPH, and may wish to discuss this with your own doctor.
If you scored mainly 'C's you have severe symptoms and should consult your own doctor.
My doc told me to cut down on caffiene and it helped. First time I got BPH, I was on a cycle. The doc even asked if I was on juice.
