Patient's question:
My brother-in-law has a bit of high blood pressure, so he often takes antihypertensive medication. My cousin said she feels he's become sexually cold. Does the antihypertensive medication affect sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Currently, domestic antihypertensive drugs do indeed have a certain impact on human sexual function, which can reduce male sexual function. This is manifested as a decline in sexual function after long-term oral intake of antihypertensive drugs. Male sexual function is affected by many factors, such as age-related decline and nutritional status, among others. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination at the hospital and, if necessary, adjust the dosage and type of antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
