Recent findings Lower urinary tract symptoms are commonly reported in patients with neurotrauma, both acutely and over the long term. Multiple medical and surgical approaches are available for managing bladder dysfunction in these patients. Sexual dysfunction and changes in sexual behaviour are reported by patients with neurotrauma and are usually multifactorial. Treatment options for sexual dysfunction are available and their management requires a holistic approach.
