Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

questionnaires

questionnaires: The PISQ-12 questionnaire, which explores female sexual function; the ICIQ-FLUTSsex questionnaire, which focuses on the impact of urinary leakage on sexuality; the USP questionnaire, which assesses the frequency and characteristics of urinary incontinence; and the Qualiveen-SF questionnaire, which measures the impact of these urinary disorders on daily life. A bladder diary was completed preoperatively as well as during follow-up visits at 6 and 12 months.

Study summary

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common and disabling condition that affects millions of people worldwide and significantly impacts the quality of life of those affected. It is well established that urinary incontinence negatively affects sexual life. Although there is no definitive consensus yet, many authors report that sexual function, after surgical intervention to restore continence, is likely to improve or, at the very least, remain unchanged.
