Abstract:
We report on two elderly patients in the extended care unit who were successfully treated with Keishi-ka-ryukotsu-borei-to for sexually deviant behavior. Case 1 was a 71-year-old male hospitalized for rehabilitation after surgery for benign prostate hypertrophy. He began to masturbate soon after hospitalization, which made caregivers and other patients very uncomfortable. After the administration of Keishi-ka-ryukotsu-borei-to, his masturbation behavior disappeared. Case 2 was a 90-year-old male hospitalized for rehabilitation after cerebral infarction. He began using obscene expressions and trying to touch female patients about half a year after being hospitalized. His sexually deviant behavior decreased after the administration of Keishi-ka-ryukotsu-borei-to. This strongly suggests that Keishi-ka-ryukotsu-borei-to is useful in the treatment of dementia-related deviant sexual activity in senior citizens.
