"Nurse I'm impotent, will my son also be impotent?", a member of my community asked
This may be the question on the mind of many who may be suffering from this condition also known as erectile dysfunction.
The fact is that impotence (erectile dysfunction) is not a hereditary condition.
It cannot be passed from father to son through genes.
Nevertheless, the medical conditions such as cardiac diseases or diabetes which are related and are risk factors to erectile dysfunction can be inherited.
Therefore, if an individual realizes that he has familial tendencies of certain conditions that predisposes to erectile dysfunction, he should do well to treat such.
