Vertebro-sexual correlations were studied in 120 men with low back pain. The weakness of sexual constitution in patients with radicular syndromes indicates a correlation between vertebrogenic and sexual insufficiency. Sexual disorders in this group (27% of cases) are, probably, the result of strongly pronounced asthenia. High occurrence of sexual disorders (41%) in the group of patients with reflex syndromes depends on the main vascular mechanisms.
