Currently, traumatic spinal cord injury disease is a common problem in men of sexual and reproductive active age. The result may be disturbance of erectile and ejaculatory functions, which often leads to inability of natural conception. Vibrostimulation, electrical stimulation or surgical sperm extraction, intrauterine insemination procedures and assisted reproductive technologies are the standard procedures in the treatment of fertility disorders in men with spinal cord injury and dysejaculation. The effectiveness of the techniques directly depends on the quality of sperm and the female reproductive health. Currently, the potential mechanisms of the disorders of spermatogenesis in patients with spinal cord injury are not clearly learned. The literature review of sexual dysfunction and pathogenetic aspects of pathospermia in men with spinal cord injury is provided.
