Aims and Objectives
|
The aims and objectives of this workshop are to provide information about the multiple interactions between bladder and sex to healthcare professionals who work with people with spinal cord injury/disease to deliver the therapeutic tools to manage the relationship between the neurogenic bladder and sexual life, promoting self-determination and independence. In the different modules, a broad and complete vision of pressing issues (e.g., urinary incontinence may affect negatively sexual life, inappropriate bladder management may trigger episodes of autonomic dysreflexia and increased spasticity, dangerous sexual behavior may increase the risk for urinary tract infection) will expand and strengthen the knowledge to work with this population.
