title: Sexual dysfunction in Parkinson's disease.
abstract: Sexual dysfunction is seen in a number of neurologic diseases. In this article we review normal human sexual response, some neurologic diseases in which sexual dysfunction is seen, and Parkinson's disease (PD). With PD there is often a reduction in sexual interest and function. The studies documenting these problems are detailed. In addition, we focus on the syndrome of hyper- or aberrant sexual function seen with pharmacotherapy of PD.
