Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 32 years old, male. A while ago, I accidentally injured my spine, and it hurts a lot. I have been resting at home and haven't gone anywhere. I want to ask the doctor how can I have sexual activity if I have a cervical spinal cord injury? Will it worsen the condition?Doctor's answer:
During the repair period of cervical spinal cord injury, sexual activity is possible and will never worsen the condition. Additionally, mutual cooperation in rehabilitation exercises and physical therapy is required to gradually restore cervical function. This also involves stabilizing the range of motion in various joints and enhancing residual muscle strength through specialized training. Appropriate household chores, family life, social life, and self-care abilities should also be incorporated. Supplementing with B vitamins, vitamin A and D calcium preparations, etc., is recommended.
