Sexual Dysfunction Seems to Trigger Depression in Female Multiple Sclerosis Patients.

Background: In women with multiple sclerosis (MS), depression and sexual dysfunction (SD) are common. Whether SD promotes depression or vice versa remains unclear despite therapeutic relevance. Therefore, we aimed to assess whether SD more likely triggers depression or vice versa.

Insular multiple sclerosis lesions are associated with erectile dysfunction.

Erectile function (EF) is frequently compromised in men with multiple sclerosis (MS). Functional neuroimaging in healthy men identified a network of brain areas, such as the insula, visual and somatosensory association areas, cingulate gyrus, prefrontal cortex, as well as subcortical regions, contributing to EF. This study intended to determine associations between EF deterioration during MS and cerebral MS-associated lesion sites.

Neuroanatomic Correlates of Female Sexual Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis.

Objective: This study intended to determine associations between alterations of female sexual arousal as well as vaginal lubrication and the site of cerebral multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions.

Methods: In 44 women with MS (mean age: 36.5 ± 9.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) after ischemic stroke: association between prevalence and site of lesion.

Purpose: Stroke may cause or worsen erectile dysfunction (ED). Post-stroke ED prevalence and association with stroke location are not well established. Therefore, we assessed post-stroke ED prevalence in relation to ischemic lesion locations and stroke severity.
