Sexuality and Reproductive Health in Adults with Spinal Cord Injury: A Clinical Practice Guideline for Health-Care Professionals

After a spinal cord injury, people often have questions about their attractiveness, relationships, and their ability to conceive and have children.  Life does not end after a spinal cord injury and neither does the ability to have fulfilling intimate relationships and a satisfying sexual life. It is important that people with SCI and their partners are able to have open dialogue regarding sexuality with a knowledgeable and supportive health care provider. This guideline addresses a wide range of topics related to sexuality.  It includes recommendations that address physical, interpersonal, emotional and medical concerns.  It also addresses the importance of privacy and individuality as well as the practical needs of individuals with spinal cord injuries.  It is our hope that the availability of this guideline will help ensure that an increasing number of knowledgeable professionals are available to support people reclaiming their sexuality after injury.
