The assessment of sexuality and sex hormone levels in a group of synthetic opioid-dependent patients

Conclusion: According to our study, it was shown that there was an effect of synthetic opioid dependency not only on the sexual functions of dependent men, including their erectile function, sexual orgasm, and desire, and their level of sexual esteem in which they experience low sexual esteem and low sexual preoccupation and high sexual depression compared with nondependent men but also on the level of their testosterone levels especially and high prolactin, which inhibit their sexual desire compared with nondependent men.
