Impotency - How To Tackle It?

Impotency is the basic lack of power or strength and of being in a state of feeble and weak in terms of sex. The main point is the total or sometimes partial inability to copulate, usually for the male counterpart. In this condition, the person is unable to produce any offspring. For a male, it is the inability to impregnate and for a female, it is the inability to conceive.

It is more common among males. The risk of developing this disease increases with age and is higher in men who are in their 60’s. Impotency can vary in range based on many factors.
