    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Sexual Medicine
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Urinary incontinence is a common condition affecting women's quality of life.
    • The impact of urinary incontinence on sexual health is an under-researched area.
    • Understanding the relationship between incontinence type and sexual dysfunction is crucial for comprehensive patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of adverse effects of urinary incontinence on sexual relations.
    • To compare the incidence of sexual dysfunction between women with bladder instability and genuine stress incontinence.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 103 female patients from an incontinence clinic participated.
    • Data on marital life and sexual habits were collected.
    • Patients' self-reported impact of urinary disorders on sexual relations was analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • 46% of women reported that their urinary disorder negatively affected their sexual relations.
    • Women diagnosed with bladder instability exhibited a significantly higher incidence of sexual dysfunction.
    • A lower incidence of sexual dysfunction was observed in women with genuine stress incontinence.

    Conclusions:

    • Urinary incontinence significantly impacts sexual function in a substantial proportion of women.
    • Bladder instability represents a higher risk factor for sexual dysfunction compared to genuine stress incontinence.
    • Clinicians should address sexual health concerns in patients with urinary incontinence, particularly those with bladder instability.
