Dr. Anne Truong MD explains five medication classes that can lower sexual desire and delay ejaculation in men. She notes that dopamine‑blocking antipsychotics reduce libido by antagonizing dopamine receptors. Alpha‑blockers such as tamsulosin affect smooth‑muscle tone in the penis and ejaculatory mechanism. 5‑alpha‑reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride) can also cause delayed ejaculation. Beta‑blockers may diminish sexual function, and chronic opioid use suppresses hormonal pathways, leading to reduced desire and delayed ejaculation. The short video alerts viewers to consider medication side‑effects when experiencing sexual difficulties.
