ObjectivesTo evaluate the sexual function of women with urinary incontinence (UI) and double incontinence (DI) comparing with a healthy control group by using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).MethodsThis study was designed as a retrospective study consisting of UI, DI, and a control group, each containing age-matched 40 patients. Statistical comparisons were made among the UI, DI, and control groups in terms of the FSFI total score as well as each domain's score.ResultsThe FSFI total scores were found to be 22.92, 20.53, and 20.32 for the control, UI, and DI groups, respectively, and no statistically significant difference was found among the groups. A statistically significant difference existed among the groups only in terms of satisfaction and pain. Significantly higher pain was found in the UI and DI groups compared with the control group (p=0.007 and p<0.001). Although there was significantly lower satisfaction in the DI group compared with the control group (p=0.012), no significant difference was found between the UI and control groups.ConclusionThe pain in the UI group and the pain and the low satisfaction in the DI group might be parameters that cause sexual dysfunction.Copyright: © Saudi Medical Journal.
