What does impotence mean ?
On June - 1 - 2008
The term “impotence” comes from a Latin word which means loss of power; a more perfect term is “erectile dysfunction.”
Some sufferers can’t get a hard-on at all; others get one but it isn’t firm enough to penetrate the partner; and others can manage penetration for a bit, but then lose it.
Impotence can occur at any age but it is less common in younger men.
It use to believe that impotence is due to psychological factors. But with new research findings the main factors of impotence is due to physical factors such as heart disease,high blood pressure,diabetes,obesity etc.
