How Does Hyperprolactinemia Affect Sexual Function? - Schizophrenia Support Network
How Does Hyperprolactinemia Affect Sexual Function? In this informative video, we will explore the effects of hyperprolactinemia on sexual function, particularly for individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. Hyperprolactinemia is characterized by elevated levels of prolactin, a hormone that plays a significant role in reproductive health. However, when prolactin levels become too high, it can lead to various sexual health issues for both men and women. We will discuss how this condition often arises as a side effect of antipsychotic medications, which can increase prolactin levels and subsequently impact sexual desire, arousal, and overall sexual health. The video will cover specific effects on men, including erectile dysfunction and hormonal imbalances, as well as how women may experience menstrual irregularities and loss of libido. Understanding the implications of hyperprolactinemia is essential for those managing schizophrenia, as sexual dysfunction can affect quality of life and medication adherence. We will also touch on potential management strategies to address these challenges.
