Patient's question:
Met my boyfriend for two months. He has been taking medication for bipolar disorder for four months, and now he cannot get an erection. Is it a side effect of the medication or was he like this before?Doctor's answer:
All medications have side effects, and due to individual differences, each person's side effects may vary. Generally, they can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and nausea with vomiting. Many medications can also cause neurological symptoms. Currently, this condition is likely due to medication side effects, and it will return to normal after stopping the medication, so there is no need to worry.Men's diseases tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should seek immediate treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, as well as pay attention to personal hygiene.
