Is impotence inherited?

Impotence is generally referred to as erectile dysfunction. Whether erectile dysfunction is inherited needs to be analyzed according to specific circumstances.

If erectile dysfunction is caused by poor lifestyle, psychosocial factors, drug use and other factors, it is acquired, and there is no susceptibility gene for the disease in the body. At this time, erectile dysfunction will not be passed on to the next generation. If erectile dysfunction is a primary disease, it is caused by genes, which may increase the risk of erectile dysfunction in the next generation.
