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.

5 Steps to Staying Mentally Sharp and Preventing Alzheimer's Disease
If you want to stay sharp and in control of your life well into your golden years, there are proactive methods to achieving the mental alertness you need. More and more research is pointing to the fact that physical activity and lifestyle choices have more to do with preventing Alzheimer s disease (AD) and other forms of dementia - once thought to be a normal part of aging - than pure genetics. So if you had a parent, grandparent or sibling with AD it doesn't mean you have to follow the same path. Statistics gathered from extensive research do point toward a higher risk of developing AD if you had a close relative with AD - as much as 50%, but that has less to do with genes and more to do with following their lifestyle patterns. If for example, your parents were smokers who rarely exercised, you may have developed some of the same destructive habits. What can you do to break the cycle and prevent AD? Take action and take control today. Even if you are in your...
