Sex in the Second Half: Vibrant and Healthy Sexual Aging

Brandstater, Murray MD, PhD; Kim, Mary MD

Abstract

The occurrence of a stroke brings about an abrupt change in the life situation for the individual and immediate family members. The physical impairments and emotional responses that follow a stroke have profound effects that impact everyday living, interpersonal relationships, intimacy, and sexuality. Numerous studies have shown that individuals report a marked decline in sexual function after a stroke. The focus of this study is on the pathophysiological and emotional factors that contribute to this decline and how these factors are evaluated and managed by health professionals during the phase of early poststroke rehabilitation.
