Evaluation of Sexual Function After Artificial Urinary Sphincter Implantation
Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
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.
