You’ve always been healthy. Whether it was from exercising daily or eating only the healthiest foods, you’ve always looked after your body. You’re also free of stress, anxiety, or depression, so you like to think that you keep a healthy mind, too.
Then why, you might wonder, are you dealing with erectile dysfunction? You’ve combed over the list of potential causes, and nothing relates to you. You aren’t on any new medication, so that can’t be the cause of your erectile woes. In a moment of panic you start to wonder if perhaps you’re just destined to deal with ED. Maybe, you wonder, it’s simply genetics?
Not quiet. While there are several health ailments that can be inherited through heredity that can lead to erectile dysfunction, ED itself is not a hereditary disease. Medical issues such as diabetes and heart disease are commonly hereditary ailments, and both have been linked to erectile dysfunction. But erectile issues aren’t passed from generation to generation.
However, some experts believe that there are certain genes that can be inherited that make a man more susceptible to erectile dysfunction. These experts suggest that certain gene variables have been linked to high risks of ED developing, and that these genes can be passed from father to son. However, this study is still ongoing, and nothing has been established as of yet.
So while there is the possibility that your genes have dictated your erectile health, it’s likely that your ED isn’t a hereditary issue. You also won’t have to worry about your bedroom issues being passed through your family line, so push that thought out of your mind.
Odds are, if you’re dealing with ED, there’s an underlying cause, though it may not always be obvious. But the solution does not lie in your genes.
