Patient's question:
I have had schizophrenia and have been taking medication. My mother's friend said that taking too much medication can interfere with sexual function, so she has been worried about my marriage, fearing that I might have impaired sexual function. What I want to ask is, can hospitals test my sexual function? Is it accurate?Doctor's answer:
Antipsychotic Western medicines are highly effective sedatives that induce sleep. Due to the interference caused by sedation, they can disrupt sexual function. Additionally, antipsychotic Western medicines can directly impair liver and kidney function, making it inadvisable to use them during pregnancy. This is because antipsychotic Western medicines have significant toxic side effects, which can affect sperm quality and interfere with fetal development and intelligence. To completely overcome mental illness and the troubles caused by antipsychotic Western medicines, it is recommended to opt for herbal treatments with no side effects and no dependence.
