Spinal Cord Injury and sexual dysfunction?
I wanted to know what type of SCI can cause sexual dysfunction. Is it usually from a direct impact to the vertebral column (C1-C7/T1-T12/L1-L5/Sacrum/Coccyx)? Can it be also be from a stretch that could have cause compressions, over extensions, awkward horizontal and vertical torques?
My incident happened at the gym. I was on a rowing machine and strapped my foot in. When I was either sloping or reaching forward in a unconvincing attempt to grab the handlebar that had be left up, a big guy rowing on my left without admonition gave me a sudden push forward on the middle of my back and I felt in the order of two crackles to the posterior left of my lower back in the hip vein area, but no pain at the time. I didn’t feel anything the subsequent two or three days either. That’s as far as I’ll go for now if you can provide me an opinion on what you think happened. I'm currently waiting to see a physician, please answer if you own knowledge in this field. Thank you.
Answers: Yes, a spinal cord injury can affect sexual function, but you already know that.
If this is the just symptom, you can pretty well rule out any problems in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar region.
The concern would be a compression fracture in the lower sacral section - maybe S3 or below.
There are things that can be done - but you have to have a doctor do a work-up, the sooner the better. Every SCI is different. Your situation may be textbook, or innovative to the point where there are few parallels to other people's experiences.
