title: [Sexuality and physical disorders].
abstract: In every kind of pathology each patient is also conditioned by one's sexual identity. For this reason a physician should not avoid considering the possible presence for each patient of some sexual problem, even if it is not directly linked to the mean disease. The same doctor could be moreover surprised by a positive reaction from the patient if sexuality is mentioned even within severe physical disorders.
