This paper studies a 39-year-old male patient who takes red yeast rice (RYR) for self-therapy in lipid-lowering for 3 weeks. Results show that RYR can decrease most of the blood lipid components but without selectivity. During the treatment, the patient developed erectile dysfunction (ED) and accompanied by a dramatic decrease in sexual desire. The ED symptom gradually disappeared within 5 weeks after stopping RYR intake.
