Disc herniation can cause sexual dysfunction

Disc herniation can cause sexual dysfunction

The relationship between back pain and a sexual life has always been a little discussed. A study, published last year in J Neurosurg: Spine, focused on the interference of the herniated disc in people's quality of sexual life. The results were interesting.

The study analyzed 43 people with a mean age of 41 years, between men and women, with the objective of evaluating the sexual activities of the herniated disc before and after undergoing surgery. > The result showed that 55% of men and 84% of women reported having sexual problems after the onset of herniated pain. The most cited dysfunction was the decrease in sexual desire, by both men and women. Male patients also complained of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction (18%).

Patients are not treated in their general context and their complaints parallel to the pain picture end up in the background.

After treatment , the study found that the frequency of sexual intercourse in the analyzed group was 78% lower prior to surgery compared to the period when patients reported no pain.

As a professional, I can say that the study shows not only the interference of the problem in the daily life of individuals, but also the need for appropriate attention and treatment. The conclusion of the work shows that patients are not analyzed in their general context and their complaints parallel to the pain picture end up in the background, when in fact they are components of great importance.

Treatment

Fortunately, this problem is which can be solved by means of multidisciplinary treatment with medicines, physiotherapy and, in more complicated situations, surgery. In the case of the surgical procedure, the current trend is to opt for a new technique minimally invasive, based on video-copying, consecrated in countries such as the United States, Asia and Europe, and has been applied with great success also in Brazil. new methods is based on a minimum cut, about one centimeter, and can be performed, in some cases, with local anesthesia. The procedure is simple, so much so that the patient can be discharged usually on the same day and walk out of the hospital. The use of traditional techniques associated with implant placement should be carefully considered and used only in extreme cases associated with intense instabilities.

Breast cancer: study brings new possible treatment against metastasis

Breast cancer metastasis , a process by which cancer spreads through the body, can be prevented by the use of some drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Researchers at Mayo Clinic, a non-profit medical services and medical research have identified that one of the main targets of the drugs, CDK4 / 6, is able to regulate the cancer metastasis protein called SNAIL, and drugs that inhibit CDK4 / 6 could prevent the spread of triple-negative breast cancer.
