Medication, for example for high blood pressure, psychological complaints or pain, can affect sexuality. This effect occurs particularly with preparations that upset the hormone balance; somewhat less frequently, such effects are also observed with psychotropic drugs. However, it is difficult to say whether the cause of the problems is due to the drug or whether the sexual disorder is rooted in the disease itself or in the psychological burden of the disease. The desire for sex is of course also dependent on the personal state of mind.

Drugs that make you tired or lethargic or that make you feel uncomfortable in your skin can also have an effect on sexuality.

The interaction of psyche, nerve signals and hormones is the basis for the sexual processes in the body. In each of these areas, medication can have a negative effect.

Talk to your doctor about this; he or she may be able to prescribe you another medication. Under no circumstances, however, should you discontinue the medication without prior consultation.
