Patient's question:
Currently 50 years old, taking high blood pressure medication for 10 years, with poor sexual function. How can there be medicine to tone it? What to do if blood pressure medication leads to poor sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is likely that the sexual dysfunction is caused by antihypertensive medication, which generally manifests as decreased libido. It is recommended not to be overly anxious, to relax your mind, and to maintain a cheerful mood. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods, quit smoking, and limit alcohol consumption. It is best not to rely on aphrodisiacs, and instead, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. You can moderately increase the intake of goji berries, Chinese yam, chives, lotus seeds, and soy products. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
