Abstract

Objective Sexual dysfunction (SD) severely affects the quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis ( MS). The aim of this study is to investigate the type and frequency of sexual complaints in MS patients, to analyse their relationship to various clinical and psychosocial variables and to clarify the differences between MS patients with and without SD.
