This episode follows on from our previous webinar "Exploring Sexual Dysfunction," hosted by Francescapaola Polli, Enterology Product Manager for Wellspect in Italy.

Returning guests Dr Marcalee Alexander and Dr Gianluca Sampogna provide invaluable guidance on overcoming sexual challenges and achieving fulfilling sexual lives after spinal cord injury.
From discussing the role of sex toys in enhancing pleasure to emphasising the importance of bladder and bowel management for sexual activity, Drs Alexander and Sampogna offer practical advice and explore misconceptions surrounding sexual function post-injury.

Listeners will gain insights into various aspects, including the impact of accidents during sexual activity, strategies for adolescents navigating sexuality, and fertility considerations for both men and women with spinal cord injuries.
