“…A common subtype of UI is stress urinary incontinence (SUI), defined as a "complaint of involuntary loss of urine on effort or physical exertion including sporting activities etc., or on sneezing or coughing" [71,72]. Its incidence is estimated to be about 15-20% of adult women [73].…”

“…The main disorders ensuing from the association between UI and FSD are poor lubrication, painful sexual intercourse and a negative impact on several psychosexual domains (sexual satisfaction, negative body image, mood, self-esteem and poor relations) [74][75][76]. Women with SUI tend to avoid occasions of sexual intercourse in order to prevent embarrassment caused by nighttime incontinence or leakage during intercourse [66,72,77,78]. These situations are common causes of depression and may be associated with disorders of arousal and desire, poor lubrication, anorgasmia, and dyspareunia [4,9,66,76].…”

Symptomatic urinary tract infections can also be an underlying cause of emotional distress and low self-esteem, thus contributing to sexual dysfunctions and other complications [72].…”

Although female sexual dysfunctions are common among women with urogynecological conditions, they have not been thoroughly studied and there are still many questions without an answer. The recent evidence on sexual disorders in women with urogynecological diseases shows a quite wide spectrum of therapeutic approaches, which require the physicians to take into account not only the primary symptoms, but also all the associated factors negatively affected. It has been widely underlined that gynecological diseases are often associated with high stress and have a negative impact on quality of life and psychological well-being of women affected. For this reason, a multidisciplinary approach for the management of these diseases is highly recommended. Also in the case of urogynecological disorders, it is important to take into account psychological outcomes throughout the diagnostic and therapeutic process. In the light of these considerations, the aim of this short review is to evaluate the impact of the main urogynecological diseases and the currently available therapeutic options in order to improve quality of life and sexuality of these patients and to stress the need for a multidisciplinary approach in order to minimize the negative consequences of these diseases for the sexual well-being of women and their partners.

BACKGROUND Several factors affect the quality of sexual life. Vaginitis may impair the quality of life and lowers the self-esteem of a woman by distorting the mental image of her body. So far, no study has been done on the effectiveness of vaginitis treatment on the quality of sexual life. Therefore, considering the importance of quality of sexual life in family relationships, the present study was designed and conducted to determine the effects of vulvovaginitis treatment on women’s quality of sexual life. METHODS This experimental study was conducted on patients visiting Imam Sajjad Hospital in Shahriyar from 2017 to 2018. The Inclusion criteria in the study were as follows: having one of the vaginal infections, i.e., Candidiasis, Gardnerella, or mixed infection (both Candidiasis and Gardnerella) diagnosed by a specialist. The subjects filled in the quality of sexual life questionnaires before treatment and 2 months after the treatment. Data analysis was done by SPSS version 16 with paired t - test, univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), analysis of variance, and multiple regression test. The P - value < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS In each of the three groups (candidiasis, Gardnerella, and mixed infection), the quality of sexual life differed before and after treatment, therefore the treatment improved the patients’ quality of life significantly. Mean and standard deviation of the quality of sexual life in Candidiasis group before and after treatments were 68.97 ± 19.59 and 75.82 ± 8.46 respectively; in Gardnerella group: 69.28 ± 19.04, 14.14 ± 72.15, and in the mixed group, they were 66.59 ± 18.91, 71.61 ± 13.47 respectively. In all three groups, the components of personal feelings and sexual life before and after treatment were different (P < 0.001). The regression test proved the effects of such variables as education, body mass index (BMI) and duration of infection on the quality of sexual life (P < 0.05), and the greatest effect was related to the duration of infection with a coefficient of - 0.342. CONCLUSIONS After treating the vaginal infections, these women's quality of sexual life improved. As a result, it can be concluded that the diagnosis and treatment of the disease can enhance the quality of sexual life. KEY WORDS Quality of Life, Quality of Sexual Life, Vaginitis, Treatment
