Abstract

During the last 40 years more and more myelomeningocele (MMC) patients have survived to adulthood and since the 1980s there is growing interest in sexual functioning of these patients. However, most of what is known about the impact of MMC on sexual functioning pertains to males. We have reviewed the literature pertaining to female sexuality and MMC with regard to sexual development, activity, dysfunction, sexual knowledge and education, pregnancy and delivery, as well as future trends.
