Reduced sex drives
Parkinson’s disease damages the nerve cells in the male genital area that allow men to feel the genital area and have an erection. Parkinson’s patients experience discomfort during sex because the muscles that support erections and sex are stiff or jerky. Almost 80 percent of men with Parkinson’s lose their desire or ability to have sexual relations. Patients with Parkinson’s can get help from a doctor to overcome sexual problems and achieve their sexual desires.
