Impotence is the abnormal functioning of the penis during the sexual activity. When a man fails to attain the erection or sustain the erection necessary for the sexual intercourse he is said to be impotent. The main cause of the impotence is found to be the inadequate blood supply to the penis during the sexual copulation. The blood supply to the penis is guided by the two enzymes i.e. cyclic guanoyl monophosphatase (cGMP) and phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5). The enzyme cGMP is responsible for the increasing the blood supply to the penis after the sexual stimulation and the enzyme PDE-5 is responsible for the cutting off the blood supply once man reaches the orgasm. If the concentration of the enzyme PDE-5 increases then the blood supply to the penis is reduces which results into erectile dysfunction or impotence.
