ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate whether symptoms of anal incontinence (AI) have an impact on sexual function in a cohort of women with pelvic floor disorders and/or incontinence. STUDYDESIGN:
We analyzed a cohort of women presenting to an academic urogynecology practice. The control group consisted of those who answered "no" to questions 9-11 on the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory. The AI group consisted of those selecting "yes" to at least 1 of these questions. Student t test was used to compare differences between groups for the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12).RESULTS:
The control group had a significantly lower mean score on the PISQ-12 than the AI group. There was no difference in PISQ-12 scores when controlling for stage of prolapse.CONCLUSION:
Symptoms of AI were not associated with worse sexualfunction as measured by the PISQ-12.
