The new studies to figure out, whether impotence is inherited or not, are being directed by the group of scholars. They are trying to pry out the hereditary factor that responds for the erectile dysfunction. This examination is going to make a great impact on the human race, because in case a gene responsible for impotence is located, then that means it could be replaced by the robust gene and the impotence trouble might be healed forever.

The term inherited was primarily contrived by Gregor Mendel, the great scientist, who is referred to as the father of genetics. "Inherited" means the transference of some characters from the parent to the descendant. These characters are changed in the form of hereditary factors, or genes. For instance, you must have noticed that someone possesses the physical characters such as eye color, hair growth, shoulders' structure, height, manner the person speaks in, etc. – these are found to be alike to their father or mother. As the good qualities are transmitted from one generation to another, the same thing is noticed about genes for the bad characters that are as well passed from one generation to another. For instance, if the parent is found to be having the diabetes, then their child is probable to be more predisposed to the diabetes.

The trouble of erectile dysfunction is the condition in which the males are not capable to achieve the erection or to support it for the adequate time during the sexual intercourse. Impotence is the condition from which the world's 70% of males are suffering from. Impotence is produced by some conditions like blood pressure, heart diseases, diabetes, etc. But, all the impairments that straight or circumstantially produce impotence are said to be inherited. So, a question emerges: "Is impotence an inherited impairment?"

Therefore, in order to find out if impotence is inherited or not a research was conducted. Married ones and their sons that are married as well were put for the report form. Questions concerning their medicinal history and sexual life were given to them. Questions concerning the impotence were asked with more predilections. The research displayed that in the 20% of males undergoing diabetes and suffering from erectile dysfunction had their sons that were also having diabetes and suffering from erectile dysfunction. In all 45% of the instances it was noticed that both father and his son were suffering from the erectile dysfunction.

The research was unable to explain the fact that erectile dysfunction has been transmitted from father to his son, because several other factors were as well located to be implicated as the causes for impotence. Many scholars are trying to resolve this problem but no one until date is capable to answer satisfactorily and reasonably. Some of them are also stating that erectile dysfunction can’t be inherited as no gene responds for achieving appropriate erections. Some scholars said that no researches at the gene level are made for impotence.

The study is still being continued to understand whether any gene responds for impotence or not. So, we have to wait and watch so that we could receive clear data on this topic.

Until then, people undergoing impotence can only take medicines, like Cialis or exercise. Anyway, at any case, Cialis helps to achieve erection and support in during sexual intercourse. So, there is still some kind of way out of the problem.
