Patient's question:
I have been suffering from high blood pressure and have relied on medication all year round to control it. Later, I noticed that my marital life with my wife was not harmonious, and I was worried that it might be due to the side effects of long-term medication for high blood pressure affecting my sexual function.Doctor's answer:
Long-term oral medication for patients with hypertension can indeed cause varying degrees of impairment and impact on sexual function. Dietary recommendations for hypertension: Foods to avoid—high-fat foods (such as pork belly, pork ribs, whale meat, herring, eel, tuna, etc.), processed foods (such as sausages, etc.). 3. Fatty foods: Suitable foods—vegetable oils, a very small amount of butter, salad dressings. Foods to avoid—animal fats, lard, smoked meat, pickled sardines.
