Stroke patients with sexual function which will change?

It was reported that 105 cases below the age of 60 stroke patients, 60% of the cerebral vascular accident, no sex, but most people because of fear of sex spouses prompted recurrence of the disease in patients with reduced sex life. Of course, these conclusions can not be directly applied to the book's main readers over the age of 60 stroke patients. Before the stroke but some factors will of sexual dysfunction play a role, including chronic diseases, suppression exciting drugs, loss of interest in sex, and sex with the aging process of some erroneous viewpoints. Moreover, stroke in the aftermath, if only causes mild or moderate damage to the nerves, so that activities can be seriously inhibited. It was discovered that the brain after a stroke right hemisphere (advantage hemisphere) involvement than when the left hemisphere lesion is more likely to have reduced libido. Stroke can produce various clinical manifestations, including paraplegia, feeling retardation, blindness, dizziness, speech difficulties and clear pronunciation. The loss of sphincter control of stroke patients is the issue one of the causes. Although the direct problems, such as impotence, not ejaculation, orgasm as a result of lack of nerve damage can occur, but less common, more problems by mobility and emotional factors. Regained consciousness after stroke, depression is common, because some patients feel that their disease has been defeated, but in the aftermath of a stroke to overcome the relative nor very good approach. Some studies found that some stroke patients still hope to experience their sexuality, when there is a concern over health and spouses, sexual function are more likely to achieve a satisfactory level. Some stroke patients who were not interested in sex, which is normal. Well, let stroke patients to restore sexual life, or should restrict their sexual life? There were no appropriate research data can answer this question. For cerebral hemorrhage caused by stroke patients, a high degree of sexual excitement may be associated with increased blood pressure and continue to cause bleeding, but how likely it is not clear. In theory, these patients to resume sexual life are highly dangerous. Therefore, we advocate stroke patients should avoid direct sexual intercourse, of course, the spouse's concern and care, minor and very intimate caressing (marginal sexual acts) will undoubtedly close the elderly couple's relationship, help patients overcome the psychological depression, enhance self-confidence, enhance disease patients in life.
