El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el impacto de la lesión de la médula espinal en la sexualidad de las mujeres. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo realizado con 15 mujeres con lesión de la médula espinal y con al menos 6 meses de evolución, residentes en el Nordeste de Brasil. Se utilizó el análisis de contenido para explorar los datos. Hubo cambios biopsicosociales significativos después de una lesión de la médula espinal. Las transformaciones corporales movilizaron sentimientos y actitudes de superación, indiferencia o insatisfacción con la propia imagen. Después de una lesión de la médula espinal, el autoerotismo mediante la masturbación siguió siendo poco frecuente. La práctica sexual fue descrita como cualitativamente peor, con menos deseo sexual, con lubrificación alterada y anorgasmia frecuente. La calidad de la vida sexual de las mujeres entrevistadas empeoró debido a la ausencia o dificultad de sentir placer al tocar su cuerpo. Aunque menos frecuentes y menos placenteros, existía la posibilidad de darle un nuevo significado a la sexualidad después de una lesión de medula espinal gracias al descubrimiento de otros aspectos, como el tacto y el olfato. Los datos resaltan la necesidad de estrategias del equipo multidisciplinario de rehabilitación para ofrecer orientación sobre sexualidad a las mujeres con lesiones de médula espinal.
