Zusammenfassung

Viele Frauen leiden mit zunehmendem Alter sowohl unter Symptomen des unteren Harntraktes, als auch unter Sexualstörungen. Große epidemiologische Studien belegen einheitlich Zusammenhänge zwischen der Überaktiven Blase und einer sexuellen Dysfunktion. Insbesondere Frauen mit einer urodynamisch bewiesenen Detrusorhyperaktivität und einer damit verbundenen Harninkontinenz leiden unter einer sexuellen Dysfunktion. Eine erfolgreiche Therapie einer Belastungsinkontinenz geht mit einer Verbesserung der sexuellen Gesundheit einher.

Abstract

With increasing age many women suffer from lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) and female sexual dysfunction. An increasing body of evidence supports an association between the 2 conditions. Especially women with urodynamically proved detrusor hyperactivity suffer from sexual dysfunction and there is some evidence that in patients with stress incontinence sexual health improves after successful surgery.

Schlüsselwörter
