Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) began in humans in the late 1950s and since that time more than 800,000 people have been treated with this procedure. To date 150,000 patients are living 5 years or more post transplant, with this number expanding rapidly [1]. As advances have been made in refining HSCT and making it more accessible, a larger proportion of people are surviving and it becomes important to determine and address their long-term and late effects. One of the most prevalent long-term difficulties for both males and females is sexual dysfunction.
