In this study, we evaluated the effect of lower urinary tract dysfunction and its neuromodulative therapy on sexual functioning. We studied 121 patients with an overactive bladder (OAB) (N ¼ 83), chronic pelvic pain (N ¼ 23) and nonobstructive retention (N ¼ 15), which were treated with neuromodulation (i.e. percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, PTNS). To obtain information on their sexual function, a self-administered standardized questionnaire was filled out before therapy as well as after 12 weeks of treatment. Before therapy, different aspects of sexual life were considered not normal in 25.3-45.6% of the cases. This improved significantly after treatment. Patients most likely to benefit were women, patients with an OAB and subjective responders. The aspects of sexual life which mostly improved were overall satisfaction, libido and the frequency of sexual activities. Sexual dysfunction is observed in a lot of patients with lower urinary tract disorders and may improve on successful therapy for the latter.

“…Behavioral therapy and physical therapy may be as effective as, or even more effective than, drug treatment 9 . Some physical therapy methods for treatment of UI employ electrical stimulation and consist of intermittent neuromodulation: intravesical, anal, vaginal, penile, perineal, transcutaneous suprapubic or in sacral region and in the posterior tibial nerve 9,10 . Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) consists of transcutaneous electrical stimulation with the aid of needle electrodes in the posterior tibial nerve region 4,[10][11][12][13] .…”

“…Treating certain bladder dysfunctions by afferent nerve neuromodulation techniques such as sural nerve stimulation is another example of neural intimacy and the central association between lower extremity and pelvic visceral functions [18]. Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation has also been successfully used in the neuromodulative treatment of CPPS as well as overactive bladder [19,20].…”
