Listen "Ketamine and Sexual Health"
Episode Synopsis
Uncover a crucial, rarely discussed topic on the potential effects of ketamine on sexual health. We delve into a 2023 systematic review by Pominville et al., which included four studies. These limited findings, primarily from studies of illicit, heavy, long-term ketamine use, suggest a potential correlation with sexual dysfunction. This episode critically highlights a significant research gap regarding medical ketamine use. Tune in to understand what the current, albeit limited, science indicates and why more research is urgently needed in clinical populations.
