Impotence
A sexual dysfunction that is characterized by persistent or recurrent inability to achieve or to maintain an erection during sexual activity.
The database says that a source associated a plant with the label “Impotence”. It does not show that the source used modern diagnostic criteria or that the plant was effective.
The plain-language definition is anchored to an exact Disease Ontology term. The historical use association remains a separate data claim.
