title: [Sexual dysfunction in men and epilepsy].
abstract: Sexual dysfunctions may represent a symptomatological aspect of epilepsy or it may be a consequence of the pharmacological therapy. This kind of trouble is frequently associated to primary generalized epilepsy and focal secondary epilepsy. In our investigation we considered a group of 30 males during treatment with drugs like phenobarbital, carbamazepine and valproate, at the "Center for the Study and the Treatment of Epilepsy", University of Turin, using a sexological and psychosomatic questionnaire. The purpose was the analysis of the sexuality in relation to a specific kind of epilepsy or to a particular drug.
