Cover Story: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a common disorder of the autonomic nervous system characterized by an increased heart rate of at least 30 bpm from supine to standing position, orthostatic intolerance and non-orthostatic symptoms, such as fatigue, dizziness, cognitive impairment, headache and others. POTS predominantly affects women of reproductive age and is often triggered by infection, including COVID-19, menarche, pregnancy, surgery, concussion and vaccination. In this cross-sectional, case–control study, we found that women and men with POTS have significant sexual dysfunction compared to healthy controls. Women with POTS had significantly lower scores in the sub-domains of desire, arousal, and satisfaction, while men with POTS had significantly lower scores in erectile and orgasmic functions, desire, and satisfaction than healthy controls.
