Brief Answer:
HCTZ susceptible for erectile dysfunction most likely .

Detailed Answer:
Hello Jbeck
Thanks for full details herewith .

* Out of all the listed drugs , HCTZ ( diuretic hydrochlorthiazide ) is susceptible for erectile dysfunction. It is known to cause erectile dysfunction by
- Decrease in forceful blood flow to penis making it difficult to achieve erection
- Deplete body of zinc which is necessary to make sex hormone testosterone

* Should get ultrasound done at convenience because further line of management
depends upon that only .

Wishing you fine health ahead .
