Researchers often state that urinary incontinence (UI) has unfavorable consequences for the sexual functioning of persons who are affected by this disorder. Is this in fact the case? What decides whether the sexual life of persons with UI will deteriorate - or improve? Could it have something to do with UI during intercourse itself?
From the research available to date it can be inferred that while UI can indeed affect the sexual functioning of partners, still, UI is not the only factor, nor is it the only important factor, affecting the evaluation of the quality of sexual life. This has been confirmed by some of the earlier research performed by our team, which indicated that UI in women can affect marital functioning, especially sexual relations, which is manifested inter alia by earlier withdrawal from sexual activity, especially in women for whom this aspect of life is of less importance, or by a change in the strategy for coping with UI during intercourse.
