Overactive bladder urinary incontinence and female sexual dysfunction are common in women, but often go unreported and/or untreated. All of these conditions can have a markedly negative impact on quality of life. There is a growing body of evidence that sexual and urinary problems are often comorbid and possibly synergistic in women. Increasingly robust evidence indicates that management of urinary concerns may enhance sexual function and quality of life. It is important for health care providers who see women to consider both urinary and sexual health concerns during patient encounters. Additional research attention to the interrelationships between these genitourinary disorders is warranted.
膀胱过度活动症、尿失禁和女性性功能障碍在女性中很常见,但常常未被报告和/或未得到治疗。所有这些情况都会对生活质量产生明显的负面影响。越来越多的证据表明,女性的性和尿失禁问题常常同时存在,并且可能具有协同作用。越来越多的有力证据表明,处理尿失禁问题可以改善性功能和生活质量。对于看诊女性的医疗保健提供者来说,在患者就诊期间考虑到泌尿和性功能健康问题非常重要。有必要对这些泌尿生殖系统疾病之间的相互关系进行更多的研究关注。
