This review explores the impact of SCI on sexual dysfunction and discusses current management and treatment options. Addressing sexual dysfunction is crucial for improving the quality of life for individuals with SCI. Advances in pharmaceuticals and technology have provided new ways for patients to adapt to their changed circumstances. Encouraging open conversations about sexuality after an injury is vital, as maintaining a fulfilling sexual relationship following SCI is entirely achievable. Although significant strides have been made in addressing male sexual dysfunction related to SCI, advancements in managing female sexual dysfunction remain comparatively limited. More research is needed in this area, particularly for women with SCI, as sexual health is a key component of overall well-being.</span></span></span></span></div> Disease Management, Pathophysiology, Sexual Dysfunction, Spinal Cord Injuries 1 7 http://jsurgery.bums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-453-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Amirmohammad Soleimanian Soleimaniana921@mums.ac.ir 100319475328460010951 0009-0007-2847-7627 No Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Maryam Salehi salehim@sums.ac.ir 100319475328460010952 0009-0007-6188-2501 No Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran Saeed Kooshafar Kooshafars@sums.ac.ir 100319475328460010953 0009-0003-0992-5704 No Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran Farsad Nemati Karimooy Nematikf921@mums.ac.ir 100319475328460010954 0009-0003-7054-4185 No Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Alireza Davoodi Alireza.davoodi7777@gmail.com 100319475328460010955 0009-0004-4449-2067 No Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Farhang Mir Akhorli Mirakhorlif@mums.ac.ir 100319475328460010956 0009-0005-2754-1637 No Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Seyed Ali Shariat Razavi ali.razavi74@gmail.com 100319475328460010957 100319475328460010957 No Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Neda Kamandi Nedkamandi1995@gmail.com 100319475328460010958 0009-0002-0425-2873 No Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Hamideh Feiz somayyehmoshir@gmail.com 100319475328460010959 100319475328460010959 Yes Department of Emergency Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Mohsen Khamoushi Kahdouee khamoushi@gmail.com 100319475328460010960 100319475328460010960 No Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran
