Abstract:
Sexual functioning was investigated in 50 parkinsonian male and female patients using a questionnaire. A loss of sexual interest and functioning was reported in a high percentage of patients. Depression was not prevalent but 70% had some evidence of autonomic nervous system dysfunction that may be related to sexual dysfunction. It is concluded that the sexual function is frequently impaired in Parkinson's disease.
