Abstract
We aimed to assess the effect of TOT procedure on sexual function and quality of life in sexually active patients. Forty-one patients with SUI aged 18-70years participated in this study during 2015-2019. Sexual function was evaluated by Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire(IIQ-7) and Urogenital Distress Inventory Questionnaire(UDI-6) prior to TOT surgery and six months after surgery. The mean IIQ-7 and UDI-6 scores were significant lower after surgery (P < 0.001). The mean FSFI score was 22.69 ± 5.48 prior to surgery and 29.79 ± 4.12 in the sixth month after surgery (P < 0.001). We found significant changes in all FSFI domains except for pain. Two patients complained of new dyspareunia after surgery. There was also a direct significant correlation between education and sexual function improvement in terms of desire (P = 0.031). TOT can significantly enhance sexual function with low rate of complications in patients with SUI.
