Predictors of Sexual Dysfunction in Veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Background: The problems in sexual functioning among patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are often overlooked, although scientific research confirms high rates of sexual dysfunctions (SD) particularly among veterans with PTSD. The main objective of this study was to systematically identify predictors of SD among veterans with PTSD.

Methods: Three hundred veterans with PTSD were included in the cross-sectional study.
