%X <strong>Introduction: </strong><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Urinary incontinence is a common problem that can affect the quality of
life of women of all ages and can negatively influence the exercise of
sexuality.</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span></span><a name=\"_30j0zll\"></a><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Aim: </span></b></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The aim of this study was to compare sexual function
of women before and after surgical treatment for urinary incontinence.</span></span></span><span><span><b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></b></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Method: </span></b></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The sample consisted of 38 women with urinary
incontinence and surgical treatment (Burch or Sling procedure). The Female
Sexual Function Index (FSFI) was used to evaluate sexual dysfunction before and
after surgical treatment. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Results: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The mean age of the women in the
study was 48</span></span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ˇŔ</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">8.8 years, and 58% were 50 years old or younger. By analyzing FSFI, it
was observed that the majority of subjects had an overall index of sexual
dysfunction (score &lt; 26 points) before surgery. The desire and arousal
domains improved significantly after surgery for all women included in the
study. It was also observed that women with higher levels of education had more
positive results related to desire.</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Conclusions:</span></b></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span
