A few days ago, I suddenly fainted in the street. Later, I went to the hospital to find out that I had high blood pressure. The doctor prescribed a lot of antihypertensive drugs. Now I take antihypertensive drugs. But recently, I found that the erection time is short when I have sex. It seems that I have some sexual dysfunction.

Does taking hypertensives affect sexual function

First, if some drugs have certain effects, adjust the use of drugs under the guidance of doctors when necessary. If you don't know what kind of drugs the patient is taking, and there are some drugs that may lead to flustered sexual dysfunction, you can go to the cardiovascular department of a large hospital, adjust the drugs under the guidance of a specialist, or combine with traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

Second: Although many antihypertensive drugs affect libido, it is not certain that it is the reason for taking antihypertensive drugs. One of the most commonly used diuretics in the treatment of hypertension is thiazide diuretics, mainly including hydrochlorothiazide. Spironolactone, also known as spironolactone, has anti androgen effect and inhibits androgen biosynthesis.

Third: antihypertensive drugs reduce blood pressure, penile artery blood flow is not enough to produce or maintain an erection, especially in patients with atherosclerosis, high blood pressure is needed to have sufficient blood flow to the penis. If you use antihypertensive drugs, blood pressure will decrease and penile blood flow will decrease, which will naturally lead to difficult erection.
