    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Sexual Medicine
    • Trauma Studies

    Background:

    • Extensive literature exists on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
    • Current diagnostic criteria and clinical descriptions for PTSD do not adequately address sexual dysfunction.
    • Sexual dysfunction may affect a significant number of PTSD patients.

    Observation:

    • During clinical work with Vietnam veterans diagnosed with PTSD in 1984, erectile difficulties were frequently observed.
    • These observations, while not epidemiologically representative, highlight a potential issue.

    Findings:

    • Erectile difficulties were noted in a notable portion of male Vietnam veterans diagnosed with PTSD.
    • This suggests a potential link between PTSD and sexual health issues.

    Implications:

    • The sexual health status of individuals with PTSD warrants further investigation.
    • Clinical assessments for PTSD should consider including evaluations for sexual dysfunction.
    • Future research should explore the prevalence and mechanisms of sexual dysfunction in PTSD populations.
