Sexual Disorders Secondary to Medical Conditions

Introduction

Sexual health is an integral part of overall well-being, yet it can be significantly impacted by underlying medical conditions. Sexual disorders secondary to medical conditions occur when physical health issues such as diabetes, hypertension, neurological disorders, or hormonal imbalances disrupt normal sexual function. At Samvedana Psychiatry Centre, we understand the complexities of these challenges and provide comprehensive care to restore confidence and intimacy in relationships.

How Medical Conditions Affect Sexual Health

Many health conditions contribute to sexual dysfunction by affecting hormonal balance, nerve function, circulation, and psychological well-being. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Diabetes: Leads to nerve damage and poor blood flow, resulting in erectile dysfunction and reduced sensation.
  • Cardiovascular Diseases: Restricted blood flow can lead to difficulties in arousal and performance.
  • Neurological Disorders: Conditions like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease can disrupt communication between the brain and reproductive organs.
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Thyroid disorders, testosterone deficiencies, or menopause-related changes can impact libido and sexual function.
  • Chronic Pain & Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions such as arthritis or lupus may cause discomfort, fatigue, and decreased sexual interest.
  • Medication Side Effects: Certain antidepressants, blood pressure medications, and chemotherapy drugs can interfere with sexual function.

Recognizing the Symptoms

If you are experiencing any of the following, your sexual health may be affected by an underlying medical condition:

  • Reduced sexual desire or lack of interest in intimacy
  • Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
  • Pain or discomfort during intercourse
  • Delayed or absent orgasm
