“…The prevalence of UI in postpartum women is often high [39][40][41], and this variable was not monitored. Although some authors have not found an association between SF and UI [42,43], recent studies using validated tools have confirmed the presence of this association [44,45].…”

“… 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 Several attempts to control for such variables have been published. 9 , 10 , 11 Shaw 9 reported a 46% prevalence of sexual abstinence in incontinent women. Despite the high sexual abstinence rate in that study, the lack of a control group of continent women did not allow any major conclusion on the role of UI in sexual abstinence.…”

“…However, the amount of urine loss, degree of SUI, and nocturnal incontinence affected sexual activity in that population. Schoenfeld et al 11 evaluated sexual function in a group of German women with and without UI. They found that all women with UI were less sexually active than the healthy controls.…”

IntroductionUrinary incontinence (UI) has been associated with negative effects on women's sexuality. Women's sexuality and sexual function are a complex issue, and the role of UI is not completely clear.AimTo assess the impact of UI on female sexual function by comparing this population with a control group of continent women.MethodsWe performed a case-control study from August 2012 to September 2013. We evaluated continent and incontinent women (age range = 30–70 years) for their sexuality.Main Outcome MeasuresAll patients were evaluated by anamnesis, physical examination, and self-report quality-of-life questionnaires. In addition, incontinent women underwent a 1-hour pad test. Patients without sexual activity were evaluated for the role of UI in their sexual abstinence. Sexual abstinence was defined as the absence of sexual activity for more than 6 months. All sexually active women completed the self-report Sexuality Quotient–Female Version (SQ-F) questionnaire.ResultsA total of 356 women were included in the study (incontinent, n = 243; continent, n = 113). Sexual abstinence was found in 162 women (45%). Incontinent women presented a higher prevalence (P < .001) of sexual abstinence than their counterparts (129 [53%] and 33 [29.2%], respectively). Age, marital status, and UI were found to be isolated predictive factors for more sexual abstinence in incontinent women. Sexually active women (incontinent, n = 114; continent, n = 80) presented similar demographic data. Despite a similar frequency of sexual activity, incontinent women had less sexual desire, foreplay, harmony with a partner, sexual comfort, and sexual satisfaction than their counterparts. Women with greater urinary leakage during the 1-hour pad test (weight > 11 g) had the worst sexual function (SQ-F) score.ConclusionWomen with UI were more likely to be sexual abstinent than continent women. Furthermore, women with UI showed less sexual desire, sexual comfort, and sexual satisfaction than their counterparts despite having a similar frequency of sexual activity.
