Sexual Dysfunctions in Bosnian War Veterans.

ABSTRACT

Sexual functioning of war veterans is significantly under-explored. During devastating aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) around 400 thousand soldiers were included in combats. It is estimated that more than 100 000 persons were killed, and more than 60 000 them were soldiers. Vast majority of them were deployed since war is ended. We found high prevalence of sexual dysfunctions in war veterans. Also significant difference in several areas of sexual functioning between war veterans with and without symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder was found.
