Patient's question:
These days, I often feel a bit dizzy, so I went to the hospital to check my blood pressure and found out that I have high blood pressure. However, I still engage in sexual activity with my wife, and I'm a bit worried about whether it might affect it. I wanted to ask you, does high blood pressure affect sexual function?Doctor's answer:
It is possible to trigger a rise in blood pressure during sexual activity, so hypertensive patients should prioritize their safety by moderating their sexual activity. This is because blood pressure can also drop during sexual activity, increasing the likelihood of unexpected incidents. Sexual activity should not be excessively prolonged or intense—moderation is key. If hypertension reoccurs, long-term medication treatment will still be necessary. Male diseases tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication maintenance.
