Inappropriate Sexual Behavior Related with Alzheimer's Disease
Author: Mike Herman
Inappropriate sexual behavior in a person suffering from
Alzheimer's disease can cause many problems including unwanted
advances to an unwilling partner or harassing a carer.
It is often assumed that this would only happen with men but
women can also be affected as well.
While there is no reason whatsoever why a loving couple can't
continue a full physical relationship until quite late into the
disease, as long as both parties are happy to do this, as the
disabling effects of the Alzheimer's progresses sexual activity
usually declines.
This can cause frustration and embarrassment as a man may wish
to continue his previous relationship with his wife, but she may
be reluctant to do this.
If he doesn't understand the reasons why, it could become very
distressing for him.
It can lead to inappropriate sexual incidents when sexual urges
are revealed at unsuitable times and places.
For example, in the later stages of the disease, the sufferer
may make advances to their care givers.
This can be extremely distressing, especially if they are not
used to dealing with people with this type of dementia.
The care givers themselves often need additional support to
enable them to deal with inappropriate sexual behavior.
Other patients may fondle their genitals in public which can
even lead to full masturbation at inappropriate times and places
causing embarrassment for care givers and other observers.
Keeping the patient occupied and diverted can be a good method
for distracting them from this behavior as can the selection of
appropriate clothing that can lessen this unwanted activity.
Trousers for women and trousers with no fly opening for men is a
dignified way of accomplishing this.
However if the sexual behavior rises to an intolerable level for
everyone involved then medical help can be sought from a
provider who specialises in this area.
This should naturally be viewed as a last resort as it may
compromise the dignity of the patient.

Can Alzheimer's Be Prevented? |
|
Alzheimer’s disease is a condition affecting up to 4.5 million Americans. While there is no known cure, studies have been conducted that indicate there may be ways of preventing the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
The disease is characterized by symptoms such as forgetfulness, memory loss, and reduced ability to concentrate, and in later stages the sufferer may display anxiety and delusions, loss of speech and inability to sit up or walk. It is a slow disease with symptoms manifesting and worsening over the period of many years.
The now famous, groundbreaking “nun study” went a long way toward identifying characteristics that would indicate the likelihood of Alzheimer’s onset later in life. 100 nuns have been studied over a period of fifteen years, beginning in 1991. Over the course of those years, their genes have been tested and analyzed, physical balance and strength charted, and cognitive tests run to determine how many words the women could remember several minutes after... |
