| Abstract | Literature concerning sexual functioning after treatment for testicular cancer from 1975–2000 is reviewed. After a literature search in Medline and Psylit was conducted, as well as a search for cross-references made, a meta-analysis was performed. To describe sexual functioning, several aspects of the sexual response cycle were used: sexual desire, sexual arousal, erection, and orgasm; ejaculatory function, sexual activity, and sexual satisfaction were used as well. The number of patients included in the studies as well as treatment modalities were taken into account. A total of 36 relevant studies was screened (28 retrospective and 7 prospective studies), concerning 2,786 cases of testicular cancer. Meta-analysis revealed that ejaculatory dysfunction was reported most frequently and was related to surgery in the retroperitoneal area. Erectile dysfunction was related to irradiation, but was reported least frequently. Other sexual functions were not related to treatment modality. Meta-analysis revealed no deterioration of sexual functioning in the course of time, except a decrease in sexual desire and an increase in sexual satisfaction. Retrospective studies reported more sexual dysfunction than did prospective studies. Detailed analysis of separate studies, however, revealed a wide variation in reported sexual morbidity, as well as in assessment methods. Somatic consequences of disease and treatment may reduce ejaculation; however, other aspects of sexual functioning are not clearly related to disease- or treatment-related factors and may instead refer to a psychological vulnerability caused by one's confrontation with a life-threatening, genito-urinary disease, such as testicular cancer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
