Abstract
Urinary incontinence is a prevalent disorder that negatively impacts not only women’s overall quality of life but also female sexual function. Most of the literature suggests that women with urge urinary incontinence are more likely to report sexual complaints and dissatisfaction than women with stress urinary incontinence. Successful treatment of both stress urinary incontinence and urge urinary incontinence have been shown to improve overall female sexual function scores.Keywords
