متن کاملLower urinary tract and sexual dysfunction in neurological patients.
BACKGROUND Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) and sexual dysfunction (SD) are common in neurological patients due to a combination of lesions affecting relevant neural control, constraints imposed by sensorimotor and cognitive deficits and--particularly for SD--psychosocial consequences of chronic neurological disease. SUMMARY This review summarizes the etiology, diagnosis and treatment o...
