What Would Cause Erectile Dysfunction After A Prostate Biopsy?

I had a prostate biopsy done last November. Full recovery was pretty fast; took just a few weeks. However, since the procedure, I started to experience some sorts of ED (i.e., lost of sexual desire, lack of full erection, involuntary semen dropping). That seemed to go all away after 6 months. I basically went back to normal. Then I went for a follow up check up with my urologist. He did the routine prostate check (with the finger). That happened about 3 weeks ago; since then I have been experiencing the same ED problems that I had right after the biopsy was performed. I wonder if these problems are still temporary side effects or they are permanent?
