The aim of this paper is to review the literature on the effect of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) on sexual function and dysfunction.
At the International Consultation on Incontinence-Research Society (ICI-RS) in 2015, a multidisciplinary group presented a literature search of what is known about the effect of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) on sexual function (SF) in men and women. Wider discussions regarding knowledge gaps and ideal research methodology ensued.
A body of evidence supports associations between LUTS/urinary incontinence on SF in both men and women, but the true prevalence of the impact of LUTD on SF remains largely unknown. There is still reluctance among health care professionals (HCP's) to discuss SF with patients and often patients who are not asked will not volunteer their problems.
A significant knowledge gap in this area remains. Education among HCP's on assessment and treatment of sexual dysfunction and communication skills are essential to encourage, and engage patients with HCP's. Neurourol. Urodynam. 36:949-952, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
本文旨在综述关于下尿路症状(LUTS)对性功能及功能障碍影响的文献。
在2015年国际尿失禁咨询-研究学会(ICI-RS)会议上,一个多学科小组展示了关于下尿路功能障碍(LUTD)对男性和女性性功能(SF)影响的已知情况的文献检索结果。随后就知识空白和理想的研究方法展开了更广泛的讨论。
有大量证据支持LUTS/尿失禁与男性和女性的性功能之间存在关联,但LUTD对性功能影响的真实患病率在很大程度上仍不为人知。医疗保健专业人员(HCP)仍然不愿与患者讨论性功能问题,而且通常情况下,未被询问的患者不会主动说出他们的问题。
该领域仍存在重大的知识空白。对医疗保健专业人员进行性功能障碍评估和治疗以及沟通技巧方面的教育,对于鼓励患者与医疗保健专业人员交流并参与其中至关重要。《神经泌尿学与尿动力学》36:949 - 952,2017年。© 2017威利期刊公司。
