    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Sexology
    • Psychosomatics

    Context:

    • Urinary incontinence (UI) affects women across various types, including stress, urge, and combined incontinence.
    • Investigating the link between sexual behavior and UI is crucial for comprehensive patient care.

    Purpose:

    • To explore the correlation between sexual behaviors and the development of urinary incontinence in women.
    • To compare sexual behaviors of women with UI to the general female population.

    Summary:

    • Women who developed UI reported higher frequencies of extreme perceptions of cohabitation, anorgasmia, and had more sexual partners and cohabitations prior to UI onset.
    • Sexual behaviors of women with UI did not normalize to general population levels until UI became manifest.
    • Marital problems were cited as a cause for UI by 39% of participants, though only 14% negatively assessed current partnerships.
    • Reduced sexual activity was often compensated by other means, and some women with UI reported downward pressing during orgasm, potentially straining the pelvic floor.

    Impact:

    • Findings suggest a bidirectional relationship between sexual disorders and UI, indicating a need for integrated psychosomatic and sexological approaches in UI management.
    • Highlights the importance of considering sexual health and interpersonal dynamics in the comprehensive therapeutic planning for women with urinary incontinence.
