Assessment of the impact of urogenital prolapse on sexual dysfunction.
Sexual dysfunction is one of the symptoms that motivates women to seek medical help in the management of urogenital prolapse. Conservative or surgical interventions may be offered to treat the prolapse but the question remains as to whether treatment restores sexual function (SF). This article briefly discusses the assessment of SF in women with a urogenital prolapse and reviews the effect of therapeutic interventions on SF.
