Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substance/medication-induced sexual dysfunction is the most appropriate diagnosis for Zack's sexual difficulties, as his heroin addiction is likely the cause of his erection and ejaculation problems during sexual activity. Male hypoactive sexual desire disorder relates to a lack of sexual interest or desires, Peyronie's disease is curvature of the penis caused by scar tissue, and anodyspareunia is pain during anal intercourse. None of these conditions are specifically related to substance abuse.
