Abstract

Sexual function can be altered in patients with different types of epileptic disorder, especially those with temporal lobe epilepsy. The awareness of sexual function disturbances, giving an enormous impact on someone's quality of life, should lead to therapeutic measures. The incidence, evaluation and therapeutic options are demonstrated and seen through the urologist's eyes.
