Prospective Observational Study Evaluating the Sexual Function After Insertion of an Artificial Urinary Sphincter in Women
Prospective Observational Study Evaluating the Sexual Function After Insertion of an Artificial Urinary Sphincter in Women
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.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate sexual function in women 6 months after implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter.
Patients will be informed during the preoperative consultation, with an information sheet provided. Consent to non-opposition will be collected either during the preoperative consultation or on the day of the procedure, if additional time for reflection is needed. Questionnaires will be completed during follow-up visits at 6 and 12 months postoperatively.
