This chapter addresses issues surrounding sexual dysfunction after concussion. Ask the patient specifically about sexual dysfunction in private, and if appropriate ask the collateral source separately. Assess for depression, severe fatigue or hypersomnia, untreated pain, and alcohol or drug abuse (especially marijuana). Check medications for sexual side effects; serotonin specific reuptake inhibitors are the most common culprits. Test for hormonal imbalances and unrecognized cauda equina or lower spinal cord injury. Consider a trial of a PDE5 inhibitor and refer to urology for more advanced options.

The following article is designed to identify and examine sexuality-related issues frequently experienced among females with SCI. Some of the widespread barriers and myths associated with SCI and female sexuality are Identified, followed by prevalent physiological concerns of SCI on female sexuality, including intercourse, birth control, and pregnancy. Common psychosocial aspects of SCI and female sexuality such as asexual attitudes toward persons with disabilities and concerns about body image are also discussed. Current models used to successfully work with persons who are experiencing sexual dysfunction are examined, with special emphasis on common problems among women with SCI. A five-step framework that can be used by counselors for identifying and addressing specific sexuality concerns among women with SCI, including attracting a partner, dating, and developing and maintaining long-term relationships are discussed.
