Systematic Review of Sexual Dysfunction Among Veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Introduction: The clinical observations that many Vietnam veterans complained of sexual problems after returning from active duty have led to the question of a correlation between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and sexual dysfunction (SD).

Aim: The purpose of this review is to systematically review the current literature regarding SD in male veterans with PTSD.

Methods: A systematic literature search, primarily in PubMed, the Cochrane database, and PsycINFO, was conducted.

[Sexual dysfunction in the menopause. Incidence, pharmacological treatment and side effects].

The frequency of female sexual dysfunction increases with age, and the menopause has a negative influence on sexual life. Pharmacological treatment options of female sexual dysfunctions in the menopause include hormone therapy and sildenafil. Few randomised controlled studies have been done, and there is evidence suggesting that systemic hormone therapy, such as estrogen, estrogen/progesterone, estrogen/testosterone and tibolone, has a positive impact on sexual dysfunction in the menopause.
