A member asked:
My husband has ed and his father has it so bad where he now has a pump device. is it hereditary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not directly: Many of the causes for ed are hereditary, including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. Anything that damages circulation can cause ed. It can be caused by a low testosterone, which has many possible causes including excessive alcohol use and obesity. It is very important that the causes for ed be tested for and treated. Sometimes that will make the ed improve or go away.
