Do anti-hypertension drugs cause impotence?
All drugs used to treat high blood pressure, by their very nature, have some potential to lessen libido and cause male erectile dysfunction. The effect varies among different persons, some more affected than others. The side-effect is not permanent. Discontinuance of the medications leads to the pre-treatment sexual potency. But the power of suggestion has a lot to do with most psychic side-effects. A symphatetic doctor-patient relationship will achieve much to alleviate any anxiety that may arise (pardon the pun) from the knowledge of the potential side-effects of these drugs.
