Summary: Learn about sexual difficulties men may experience after transplant and ways to improve your sexual health. Men who undergo a stem cell or bone marrow transplant may experience problems with sexual health and satisfaction after transplant. Physical problems, like erectile dysfunction, can trigger emotional difficulties that add to the problem. This program describes the most common sexual problems men face after transplant, and some effective treatments. Presenter: Christian Nelson PhD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Meet Dr. Nelson: To read the transcript, go to: Highlights: - Transplant recipients report more sexual problems than the general population, such as erectile dysfunction. - Erectile dysfunction is associated with depressive symptoms and can undermine a core sense of masculinity for many men. - Consulting with appropriate specialists in urology and, more specifically, sexual medicine may be the most effective path for treating problems of sexual health. Presented at the 2021 Celebrating a Second Chance at Life Virtual Symposium, April 17-23, 2021 Presentation is 40 minutes long plus 16 minutes of Q & A Key Points: (01:36) Common problems men experience after transplant include erectile dysfunction, difficulty reaching orgasm, dry orgasm, painful ejaculation, urine leakage, and penile curvature. Problems in sexual functioning are often interrelated; having one problem may trigger others as well. (03:45) Without treatment, sexual difficulties can persist long after transplant. (06:30) Poor overall physical health increases the chance of sexual problems. (11:19) Erectile dysfunction may also cause emotional withdrawal from an intimate partner which can create conflict and difficulties in the relationship. (12:15) There are good treatments for erectile dysfunction, and a standard sequence for trying them until each man finds what works best for him. These include pills, injections, vasodilators, and penile implants. (19:43) The vast majority of men who keep trying options find something that works for them. The real problem is a high rate of men who drop out of treatment before finding a successful therapy. (21:36) Men tend to drop out of treatment because of a cycle of frustration and avoidance. Avoidance of sexual situations temporarily resolves anxiety but fails to address the underlying problem. (26:35): Men can benefit from coaching about why sexuality is important to them and how to overcome performance anxieties. This can lead to a positive cycle of acceptance and commitment to find effective remedies to sexual dysfunction. (30:29) A reduction in non-sexual intimacy can be more damaging to a relationship than a lack of sexual intimacy. (33:02) There are non-pharmacological strategies such as sensate focus that can recreate intimacy between partners and promote more healthy sexual functioning.
