Nervous disorders like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries can result in impotence. Diabetes may cause the weakening of nerves which will affect blood flow to the penis. Therefore, a man suffering from diabetes should keep his diet and blood sugar under control.  Kidney failure and liver disease can cause hormone imbalance and hence can lead to erectile dysfunction.

As a man grows older, there is a decline in the testosterone levels and with the natural process of aging a man suffers from low libido and erectile dysfunction. Certain drugs and high blood pressure medicines may have the side effect of impotence.  

Drinking alcohol excessively can cause temporary impotence in some men and this can disturb hormone levels and can lead to nerve damage which causes impotence.  Men who smoke are more likely to develop impotence.
