[Ripplegirl99]

Hello Members,

Has anyone here experienced there neurlogical disorder affectiing sex?

I have problems with sex drive because I have no sex drive and am not sure why. Second of all I have no sexual feeling. I do have feeling in that area I am not parlized or nothing but when it comes to sex I feel very little, mainly pain, not pleasure. I have Hydrocephalus. Has anyone else experienced this?

If you are on meds that could be a part of the reason.
Have you mentioned it to your doc or OB/GYN?

Ripple,

I have something similar going on and have been tested by a Urogynecologist. The problem is a weak pelvic floor and basically caused by lumbar/sacral issues (nerve damage) from the L5/S1. I also have a cystocle and rectocle. So, a visit to your ob/gyn sounds like it is in order. I hope this helps. :)

Oh, yes, neuro disorders can have that effect for both men and women. Can cause all sorts of sexual dysfunction - lack of desire, painful sex, numbness, erectile dysfunction,etc. Even retrograde ejaculation.

I have MS and have had to deal with a few issues in that area. Sometimes it's part of the meds,but with MS more often than not,it's the disease itself.

Ask your neuro about it. Might be a bit uncomfortable, but I found it preferable to the alternative - just suffering with it.

If your doc is of the opposite sex and that makes it difficult to talk to them about it, try mentioning it to a nurse. If you explain your discomfort, they will usually broach the subject with the doc for you.

Of course, it could be other things, so it would be a good idea to bring it up with your gyno,as well.

Hi! Tomorrow I have appointment with neurosurgeon and I have no idea what will he tell me. But i recognized myself in yo your words. I am very interested to find out how did you find out your diagnosis to be well exactly that (I haven't seen any urogynecologist, this seems now like a good idea:winky:)? I have as well issues with L5/S1 and even L4/L5, but i couldn't believe that this could be the cause of my problem (veeeeeery painful intercourse and chronic pain in buttocks and leg). I guess what I'am trying to ask you is how do you cope with your problem and have you found any solution to make your sex life easier? I appreciate so much any help you can provide on that matter as my marriage is slowly falling apart:(
