Abstract:   (365 Views)
Neurological disorders are illnesses in which the function of neurons in the brain and spinal cord is disrupted. In neurodegenerative diseases, based on various factors such as the etiology of the disease, the patient's age, and the brain and /or spinal cord region involved, the affected person may face a wide variety of signs and symptoms. In numerous neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and multiple sclerosis (MS), according to the disease pathobiology, some sexual and reproductive problems, like sexual dysfunction, low sperm quality, and sterility, have been raised. Although sexual and fertility issues could result in several individual complications and heavy social burdens, limited studies have addressed these topics. This narrative review highlights sexual and reproductive disabilities in several neurological disorders, such as spinal cord injury (SCI) and MS.
