- Abstract
This chapter will focus on the diagnostic work around sexual dysfunction in Parkinson's disease, especially laboratory tests and biomarkers. A number of methods to analyze if sexual dysfunction is caused by neural pathology, vascular dysfunction or other mechanisms are now available. Other methods can be used to differentiate between psychogenic/functional reasons behind sexual dysfunction and organic ones. The role of biomarkers for diagnosis, but also for understanding the reason behind and for counteracting sexual dysfunction is becoming more evident. There is also a rich and increasing number of scales and other instruments available for detecting and quantifying sexual hypo- and hyperactivity. When investigating the reason behind... (More)
This chapter will focus on the diagnostic work around sexual dysfunction in Parkinson's disease, especially laboratory tests and biomarkers. A number of methods to analyze if sexual dysfunction is caused by neural pathology, vascular dysfunction or other mechanisms are now available. Other methods can be used to differentiate between psychogenic/functional reasons behind sexual dysfunction and organic ones. The role of biomarkers for diagnosis, but also for understanding the reason behind and for counteracting sexual dysfunction is becoming more evident. There is also a rich and increasing number of scales and other instruments available for detecting and quantifying sexual hypo- and hyperactivity. When investigating the reason behind sexual dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease comorbidities should also be considered. Finally, early and pronounced sexual dysfunction might in some cases be an indication that differential diagnosis, like Multisystem Atrophy, should be thought about. All these aspects of the diagnostic procedures around sexual dysfunction in Parkinson's disease will be covered in this chapter.
