Methods: This study compared various measures of testicular and sexual function in leprosy patients and age-matched controls. Results: 51 leprosy patients and 55 controls were recruited. Significant differences between the two groups were found in terms of sexual and psychological functioning, and in endocrine status. Conclusion: A greater awareness of how common sexual dysfunction is in male leprosy patients is called for, so that appropriate interventions can be put in place.&nbsp;</p>
