[Management of reproduction disorders in spinal cord injured adolescents]

Adolescence is a period of research of sexual identity. How does a teenager build himself when a paraplegic or quadriplegic? How can the team of nursing staff help him? First we shall study the erection and the sexual relations and secondly we shall study the procreation issue. It is necessary to have early concrete information really suitable for a neurologic definition of a spinal cord injury and to conserve sperm before having complications of urinary infections. We inform 24 paraplegic or tetraplegic teenagers at the CMPA in Neufmoutiers and the CECOS at the Cochin Hospital in Paris.
