Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Urology
Psychology

Background:

Sexual function is vital for adult quality of life.
Sexual dysfunction (SD) is a frequent, yet under-recognized, complication post-stroke.
Post-stroke SD is often neglected by both patients and healthcare providers.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the anatomy and physiology of sexual function.
To discuss the multifactorial causes of sexual dysfunction in stroke survivors.
To propose future research directions for managing post-stroke sexual dysfunction.

Main Methods:

This study is a narrative review.
It synthesizes existing literature on sexual function and post-stroke complications.
It examines anatomical, physical, and psychological factors contributing to SD.

Main Results:

Post-stroke SD has diverse causes, including physical, psychological, and anatomical factors.
Complete return of sexual function is a key goal in stroke recovery.
Current management of post-stroke SD is insufficient.

Conclusions:

Clinicians must recognize and address sexual dysfunction in stroke survivors.
Accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment of SD should be integrated into stroke rehabilitation.
Further research is needed to improve the management of post-stroke sexual dysfunction.
