Whether a man’s stroke resulting in hemiplegia affects his sex life depends on the severity of the condition, which parts of the brain are damaged by the lesion, and the patient’s self-confidence.
In most patients, post-stroke symptoms only include impaired physical activity, aphasia, dysarthria, and cognitive dysfunction, which will not affect sexual function.
However, if the extent of the lesion is large, involving the limbic system, the lower thalamus, the frontal lobe, and part of the cerebral cortex, sexual dysfunction may occur, affecting sexual life.
Generally, hemiplegic patients’ self-confidence is greatly damaged, and they may not be in the mood to have sex, which will lead to sexual dysfunction for a long time, affecting their sex life.
Patients with hemiplegia need to pay attention to the moderation of sexual life, do not be too violent, agitated, may aggravate the condition or cause cerebrovascular disease recurrence, if any discomfort, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner.
