Does the statine for cholesterol have an influence on libido?
16 أبريل 2013

د. Thierry Yazbek الجراحة
Sexual side effects have been reported with some statins, such as lovastatin, pitavastatin and simvastatin. Although this side effect seems to be rare, men may underreport it. There is reason to believe that all statins may have a negative impact on sexual function by lowering testosterone levels. Cholesterol is a building block for testosterone, so it is not surprising that cholesterol-lowering drugs might have an impact on this hormone. Results from research suggest that such drugs may trigger or worsen erectile dysfunction.
Ask your doctor if there's another way to control cholesterol. If not, a test for testosterone or an ED drug might be helpful.
