Spinal Disorders

 

The spinal cord is a very elaborate and important structure. It goes from the brain through the vertebral column to the lower back. Through this structure travel the nervous impulses that are sent from the brain to the periphery and vice versa. So in other words the spinal cord is the communication path between our brain and the other parts of our body. Each time you take a step, move your hand, feel a bee sting, breath, urinate at your will, have sexual intercourse and do other voluntary or involuntary activities the information traveled to and from the brain using the spinal cord.

Because of the importance of this structure in our daily life, it is protected by the vertebral column, but even with this protection injuries may occur to the spinal cord caused by an accident, fall, dislocated vertebrae disc, certain diseases as polio, tumor and others. Depending on the level of the injury the body functions will be altered.

Cervical spinal cord injury, depending on the level of the injury, may cause from difficulty to breathing (needing a ventilator), quadriplegia, to complete paralysis of the lower limbs with only diminishing function and sensation of the upper limbs. In the cervical spinal disorders sexual potency is compromised. The main causes of cervical disorders are falls due to horse riding, car accidents, etc. Persons with cervical cord injury do survive if they receive the needed attention immediately.

Thoracic spinal cord here the presentation of the lesion also depends on the level of the injury, the person presents paralysis of both legs, no sensations of part of the chest and abdominal area to only diminished sensations. The principal cause of these injuries is automobile accidents. At this level there is also compromise of sexual potency.

Lumbar spinal cord injuries affects the sensation of the hips, movement and sensation of the lower limbs, like the other the extension of deficiency will depend on the level of the injury in the lumbar cord. Sexual potency is compromised.

In sacral spinal cord injury sensation and movement of toes are affected and as well certain levels of the leg are affected. Sexual potency is compromised.

The lesion of the spinal cord can be incomplete were there is damage only to part of the spinal cord, and the person experiences partial affection with permanence of activity at lower or/and unilateral side.

Sexual activity and fertility in male that suffer spinal cord injuries usually becomes more affected than women due to the fact that the nerves controlling erection and ejaculation are in the sacral level. In women the nerves control the possibility to have orgasm, but some women that have suffered spinal cord injuries at any level and severity have maintained, if not all, some capacity to reaching satisfaction during sexual intercourse. Women with these lesions remain fertile, because the production and release of the ovum is entirely dependent on hormonal regulation. Men with spinal cord disorders have been treated with electrical and vibratory stimulation or medication to make them become fertile.
