Sexuality and Reproductive Health Following Spinal Cord Injury

Examines sexual dysfunction in people with spinal cord injury (SCI), which may have both physiological & psychological (e.g., body image, self esteem) elements that can be distressing regardless of the persons' gender, age or culture. Although some men with SCI are unable to have erections, many still maintain the ability to have some erectile function, albeit of insuff. quality & duration for intercourse. Many techniques currently exist to remediate erectile dysfunction in men with SCI. Remediation of sexual dysfunction in women with SCI has until recently been ignored in the lit. This report focuses on 2 questions: (1) issues related to fertility, pregnancy rates, & live births in persons with SCI, & (2) issues related to male impotence post-SCI.
