I have a PD patient and taking PD medication for two years. I was told by his wife he is changing his lifestyle by sleeping naked on bed and has sex every night. He starts doing beauty care i.e facial and body massage, manicure and pedicure two times a week and putting on new clothes to be young at heart. He is fun on looking beautiful girls He is taking sinemet 25/100 one in every four hours. Is it side effect of the medicine? Is it aging process?
talk about sex…because having any chronic condition is bound to affect a relationship on both a physical and emotional level. Both partners in a couple whose lives have been affected by Parkinson’s disease need to understand the disease and its progression in order to cope with any difficulties which may arise in their sex life.
Many of the symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease are thought to be caused by lowered levels of dopamine in the brain - a chemical that transmits messages from the brain’s “relay center” to its nerve cells, enabling physical movement. It is possible that the dopamine decrease may also cause a lessened drive or interest in sex
