Muscular dystrophy and sexual health

articles that had high relevance had different scopes and methodology. One study compared levels of hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction (case–control study), another studied adult life with muscular dystrophy (cross-sectional study) and the third explored reproductive outcome and family planning after genetic counselling (combining interviews and questionnaires). Discussion The existing literature is scarce and there is a need for further research concerning sexual health and muscular dystrophy in order to explore how persons with muscular dystrophy experience their sexual health. Conclusion It is necessary to develop clinical advice for how health professionals working with persons who have muscular dystrophy can support the patient’s sexual health and give relevant information to patients/ partners/relatives. Despite the lack of knowledge concerning sexual health and muscular dystrophy, models for communication and openness about sexual health among health professionals could probably improve care for this group of patients.
