CPAP Mask usually prescribed to treat Obstructive sleep apnea can only improve sexual quality of life only in women and not in men, finds a new study.
Sexual Quality of Life is Not Adversely Affected by CPAP Use for Sleep Apnea
Researchers have suggested that patients who use a continuous positive airway pressure device to treat obstructive sleep apnea often believe that it makes them less sexually attractive.

‘Obstructive sleep apnea was found to reduce the sexual quality of life (QOL) as it resulted in decreased libido and intimacy in men.
’
Who and When: 182 patients with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea who were prescribed CPAP treatment from September 2007 through June 2010. What (Study Exposures and Outcomes): Use (more than 4 hours per night) or nonuse (fewer than 0.5 hours per night) of CPAP treatment (exposures); sexual QOL as determined by a survey (outcomes).
How (Study Design): This was an observational study. Researchers were not intervening for purposes of the research and cannot control all the natural differences that could explain the study findings.
CPAP Reduces Blood Pressure Better in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
