Coital Urinary Incontinence and Female Sexual Function

Urinary incontinence (UI) is an everyday problem among a large proportion of adult women. The prevalence of UI ranges between 15% and 25% and the rate of incidence for each type of UI ranges between 10% and 58%. Because women are concerned about UI during sexual intercourse, it has a negative effect on female sexual health. The incidence of UI during sexual intercourse in incontinent women has been reported to range between 10% and 27%. The prevalence of female sexual dysfunction is estimated to be 43%. There are conservative and surgical methods of treating UI but the number of published scientific articles dealing with the assessment of the effects of these types of therapy on improving sexual health in women treated for UI is deficient
