    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Urology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Stroke is a leading cause of neurological disability.
    • Male sexual dysfunction is a common sequela of stroke.
    • The hemispheric lateralization of sexual function is not well understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of male sexual dysfunction after stroke.
    • To explore potential differences in sexual function based on stroke laterality (right vs. left hemisphere).
    • To examine the relationship between stroke location and sexual function.

    Main Methods:

    • Evaluation of male sexual functions, including libido and potency.
    • Study included fourteen right-handed stroke patients.
    • Comparison of sexual function outcomes between patients with right-hemispheric and left-hemispheric strokes.

    Main Results:

    • Reduced potency was observed in 86% of patients.
    • Half of the patients experienced reduced libido.
    • Patients with right-hemispheric strokes showed a significantly greater reduction in libido compared to those with left-hemispheric strokes.

    Conclusions:

    • Male sexual functions, particularly libido, are frequently impaired following stroke.
    • Right hemispheric stroke is associated with a more pronounced decrease in libido.
    • Libido may involve specific cortical or limbic representations within the right cerebral hemisphere.
