Impact of Urinary Incontinence on Sexual Functioning in Community‐Dwelling Older Women

Most of these older women with urinary incontinence were sexually active, if they had a partner. The main reason for not being sexually active was a partner‐related problem. Although for only 5% was urinary incontinence the main reason for not having sex, about 25% of the sexually active women reported a negative influence of urine loss on their sex life. This implies that assessing sexual function is relevant in older women with urinary incontinence. Visser E, de Bock GH, Berger MY, and Dekker JH.
