Johns Hopkins Health Alerts Sexual Health

For your convenience, in Spotlight on Sexual Health, we provide clickable links to articles which are specific to sexual health concerns. From time to time, we will also publish additional articles regarding important sexual health issues for both men and women, and list them here.

In addition to the passing of years, many health conditions, and the medications for them, can affect your sexual health. Arthritis, depression, heart health, high blood pressure, diabetes, and the drugs most commonly prescribed to help treat them, all come with their risk of sexual side effects. We hope you’ll take the time to not only read the articles listed below, but also browse through the column listing at the right and click on all health areas that are of most concern to you and your loved ones.
