Hi Diego,
As every stroke survivor is different, and can be affected in different ways when it comes to changes in sex and intimacy after a stroke, we would encourage you to chat with your local doctor, a specialist such as urologist or someone who specialises in sexual dysfunction/health. It can also be helpful for some people to talk with a psychologist or counsellor on how to manage the feelings that can change in regard to sex and intimacy after a stroke.
We are not medical here on StrokeLine and so strongly recommend you do speak with your health professionals. You can learn and read more about sex and intimacy after stroke in our fact sheet here, or our resources page here. There are also some other forum and blog posts on this page which might be of interest to you as well.
It might also be helpful to talk to your partner if you have one, and discuss what does and doesn’t work for you both. Even if you don’t have a partner, there are also possible aids or medications that may also help, Your Doctor will be able to talk through these options with you.
It is good you are reaching out, as this topic is often not discussed post stroke, and should be discussed with every stroke survivor. It is such an important part of life for many people. Thanks for raising it.
I hope this was of some help, do reach out to your Doctor. If you were in Australia, I would recommend you reach out to us here on StrokeLine to talk more on Ph 1800 787 653, or via email on strokeline@strokefoundation.org.au. Given you are in the USA, you might like to reach out to the American Stroke Association here or call them on their warmline here.
Kind regards
Siobhan (StrokeLine)
