A member asked:

What does impotence in women mean.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Talk with your doc: It is a term that is usually not used in regard to women. Probably it is being used to reflect difficulty with sexual arousal or in having climax. These labels often suggest a misunderstanding about sexual functioning. It is always best to discuss exactly what the concerns are with your doctor.
