Sexual health in neuromuscular diseases: Neglected challenges revealed by a scoping review
SD is common, multifactorial, and under-recognized in adults with NMDs. The available evidence remains limited by non-inclusive approaches to sexual orientation and intimacy, scarce physiological assessments, and substantial gaps regarding female sexual health, longitudinal data. Integrating sexual health assessment into routine care for people with NMDs should be prioritized.
