Abstract: Rare case of genital anaesthesia persisting 6 years after SSRI discontinuation

J Sex Marital Ther. 2006 July-September;32(4):327-330

Genital Anaesthesia Persisting Six Years after Sertraline Discontinuation

Bolton JM, Sareen J, Reiss JP.

Department of Psychiatry, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Sexual side-effects, in general, are common with selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Genital anaesthesia is a rare side-effect previously described with sertraline and fluoxetine use. With SSRI discontinuation, the sexual side-effects are expected to resolve.

We report a case of a 26-year-old male who experienced genital anaesthesia during sertraline treatment and continued to be symptomatic despite medication discontinuation 6 years previously. To date, there have been no published reports of SSRI-induced sexual side-effects persisting beyond SSRI discontinuation.

This case highlights the complex interplay of psychopharmacologic and psychodynamic factors that can occur in patients with sexual dysfunction.
