Typology of sexual disorders in idiopathic Parkinson's disease, a systematic review.

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor impairments. However, non-motor symptoms are increasingly recognized and studied. Among these, sexual dysfunctions are common yet remain underexplored. This systematic literature review aims to examine the nature of sexual dysfunctions and their impact on sexual quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. We have demonstrated that sexual dysfunctions are prevalent among individuals with Parkinson's disease and are multifactorial. Men often experience a high prevalence of erectile dysfunction and ejaculation issues, while women may encounter difficulties related to sexual desire and orgasm. Hypersexuality, although rarer, is primarily observed in men and is often associated with dopaminergic treatments.
