IntroductionIntroduction
• There is limited research done in the field of women’s sexual health.
• Women’s sexual dysfunction is age-related, progressive and common affecting up to 50% of women.1
• Women with lower urinary tract symptoms or incontinence have a deteriorating sexual life noted to be as high as 26-47%.2

Introduction:Introduction:
• Recent studies have addressed the overall lack of consideration in the area of sexual health for female patients undergoing pelvic surgery. 3,4
• There very few studies which incorporate patient’s partners and their sexual health.

PurposePurpose
• It is our goal to survey female patients and their male partners both before and after incontinence surgery. We would like to identify if this surgery altered patients and/or their partners sexual satisfaction.

Materials and MethodsMaterials and Methods• Prospective pilot study from April 2007-2009 including female surgical patients and their monogamous male partners for one year duration.• Surgery included: Cystocele, Rectocele, Periurethral Injections, Sling Procedures, and Interstim insertion.
• Participants were 18-80 years of age.
• Four Validated questionnaires were utilized• Two for female patients

ParticipantsParticipants
• 14 total participants (11 patients and 3 partners) were enrolled in this pilot study from April 2007-2009.• 6 patients and 1 partner were excluded from the study:• One patient did not have surgery.• Five patients and one partner withdrew from the study after obtaining only pre-operative surveys. (2 interstim, 2 TOT, 1 cystocele)
• 5 patients and 2 partners were included:• Two patients and one partner withdrew after obtaining 6 month follow-up data. (TOT, periurethral injection)
• Two patients returned only their 1 year questionnaire. (Cystocele and TOT)
• One couple completed all questionnaires. (Periurethral injection)

Conclusion:Conclusion:
• The small amount of patients enrolled in this pilot study make it difficult to postulate any definitive conclusions.
• The intimate nature of these questions can be difficult for patients to answer, and may have attributed to our 50% drop-out rate.
• A larger number of participants, as well as a control group, would be recommended for further studies of this important topic.
