What Causes Erectile Dysfunction While On Sertraline?

I am a 59 y.o. male who is having difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection or reaching orgasm. I take sertraline and bupropion for depression, corvedilol and propafenone for a-fib. I also have had a rather weak urine stream for quite some time. is it just age or are my meds interfering with my sexual problems? thank you

Hi thank you for querry.
As you mentioned your symptoms and medicine used,
the above mentioned medicine in which carvedalol is a beta blocker which cause erectile dysfunction,alonh with sertaline that also cause ejaculatory disturbances.
bupropion increase the libido in some reports and propafenon decrease the libido.
the second thing regarding your stream of urine that may be due to enlargment of prostate due to age factor,
it also include frequency,urgency,poor stream.
if such patient come to me i will advise DRE(digital rectal examination)
Urine complete
ultrsound especially the size of prostate and residual urine volume.
So its bettet to consult a urologist for your symptoms.
hope the answer will help you.
wish you a good health.
