Impact of bladder management methods and other factors on sexual activity in women with chronic spinal cord injury/disease.
Background: Spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D) profoundly affects both sexuality and urinary function. Catheterization is often necessary to manage bladder voiding and it can interfere with sexual activity.
Aim: We aim to investigate the effect of the bladder evacuation method on sexual activity in women with chronic SCI/D.
Methods: This cross-sectional study at a specialized SCI/D rehabilitation center recruited women ≥18 years with chronic SCI/D using intermittent or suprapubic catheterization. We assessed sexual activity and sexual function with the German version of the Sexual Behaviour Questionnaire and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and a study-specific questionnaire.
Outcomes: The primary outcome was sexual activity and secondary outcomes included factors influencing sexual activity, such as age and SCI/D characteristics.
Results: Around half of the evaluated women were sexually active, regardless of bladder evacuation method. However, significantly (P = .018) more women using intermittent catheterization (IC) (66.7%, 20/30) were sexually active compared to those with a suprapubic catheter (SPC) (29.4%, 5/17). The main concern for women using IC was urinary incontinence during sex (43.3%, 13/30), while those with a SPC struggled with self-image due to the catheter (58.8%, 10/17). Not having a partner was the most common reason for sexual inactivity in both groups (59.1%). The median FSFI total score was significantly (P = .049) greater in the IC group (median 26.4, lower quartiles [LQ] 8.9/upper quartiles [UQ] 28.8) compared to the SPC group (median 11.5, LQ 5.4/UQ 25.5), which represents a lower grade of sexual dysfunction in women using IC.
Clinical translation: Sexual education is crucial and should be adapted to the different types of bladder management.
Strength & limitations: This study shows first data on the effect of catheter on sexual activity in women. Limitation of our study is the small sample size and response bias by the high rejection rate of women with SPC.
Conclusions: Few women with SPC remain sexually active after SCI/D, while the majority of women using IC do, highlighting issues around self-image and urinary incontinence.
期刊介绍：
Sexual Medicine is an official publication of the International Society for Sexual Medicine, and serves the field as the peer-reviewed, open access journal for rapid dissemination of multidisciplinary clinical and basic research in all areas of global sexual medicine, and particularly acts as a venue for topics of regional or sub-specialty interest. The journal is focused on issues in clinical medicine and epidemiology but also publishes basic science papers with particular relevance to specific populations. Sexual Medicine offers clinicians and researchers a rapid route to publication and the opportunity to publish in a broadly distributed and highly visible global forum. The journal publishes high quality articles from all over the world and actively seeks submissions from countries with expanding sexual medicine communities. Sexual Medicine relies on the same expert panel of editors and reviewers as The Journal of Sexual Medicine and Sexual Medicine Reviews.
