[Sexuality after a stroke: what support is needed?]

Abstract

Sexual health encompasses many aspects: physical, emotional, mental and social. In order to maintain it, the World Health Organization recommends that the population be provided with a wide range of high-quality information. For stroke sufferers, this information seems to be in short supply. And yet, it's a topic they want to discuss before leaving hospital. Stroke can have an impact on their physical, mental and cognitive condition, so their expectations on this subject are high, but healthcare professionals note a crucial lack of training in this area.
