Sexual Dysfunction in Male Spinal Cord Injury Patients.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) patients pose complex urologic management challenges. Not only is neurogenic bowel/bladder oversight required of urologists, but also sexual dysfunction as well. These patients with SCI are frequently encountered in clinical practice, but a significant number of physicians are not knowledgeable about the set of guidelines available for clinical management. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology behind sexual dysfunction and fertility in SCI patients, the thorough clinical evaluation required, and the many treatment options available to this specific patient population.
