What should I do if taking antipsychotic medication causes a lack of libido?

Patient's question:

Taking Risperidone oral liquid, which is an antipsychotic medication, has caused sexual dysfunction, including loss of libido, inability to achieve erection, and no ejaculation with no sperm for three years. What should I do as it hasn't fully recovered yet?

Doctor's answer:

A 26-year-old male experienced a recurrence of sexual dysfunction, including issues like erectile dysfunction, due to the use of antipsychotic medication. In your case, it should be considered whether the problem is caused by kidney deficiency, and a Chinese medicine prescription should be formulated based on specific circumstances through TCM syndrome differentiation. It is recommended to visit a local TCM hospital and consult a professional TCM doctor to receive treatment using TCM and herbal medicine methods. For male patients with sexual health issues, timely treatment can help reduce the severity of the condition, whereas delayed treatment may negatively impact overall health.
