Between 20% and 30% of hypertensive men suffer from this sexual disorder. Talking about sexual health in a medical consultation is still a taboo topic, although this is an important source of discomfort and concern. High blood pressure is one of the causes behind the sexual dysfunction of hypertensive men, who tend to live it in silence and not discuss it with their doctor, when there are already pharmacological remedies to treat it. All it takes is for medical professionals to ask their patients about this problem and for them to lose their shame and fear of talking about it. High blood pressure not only has consequences for the cardiovascular health of those affected, but also for an important part of life that is sometimes difficult to talk about: sexual health. Erroneous beliefs regarding high blood pressure can compromise the health of those affected. Hypertension is one of the main cardiovascular risk factors.
