Male Sexual Dysfunctions in Neurological Diseases. from Pathophysiology to Rehabilitation. Neurology - Laboratory and Clinical Research Devolpments

Description

Sexual function in patients with physical or neurological disabilities is often disregarded by healthcare professionals, though it is a topic of great importance to patients and to those with whom they share significant relationships. Too often, physicians believe that sexuality is not as important as the injury or illness that brought the patient to the rehabilitation team. This book investigates sexual function in persons with neurological disorders, highlighting the importance of proper counseling, diagnosis and treatment. (Imprint: Nova Biomedical)
