“…In the study conducted in Italy at the beginning of the pandemic, it was reported that the sexual functions of the couples increased with the increase in the length of time they were together (26). It was also supported in a recent study that the effect of female sexual functions is also effective in the male partner (27). In our study, we thought that the increase in women's sexual functions is related to the fact that couples spend time together due to their low socioeconomic level.…”

Method: This study included females (>18 years of age) who were married or had a regular sexual life in the last 6 months and had documented sexual functional status based on the Female Sexual Function Index FSFI) before the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was performed on May-July 2020. The participants were interviewed via telephone call or e-mail. The sexual functions of the females were evaluated using the FSFI and erectile functions of their male partners were evaluated using the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5). The scores obtained before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were compared. Results: The study included 116 females with a mean age of 39.83±9.38 years. The total FSFI score of the females during the pandemic was 20.98±7.53. A significant improvement was observed in all subscale scores and in the total score of FSFI as compared with the pre-pandemic period (p

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the association between lower urinary tract symptoms and polycystic ovary syndrome. METHODS: A total of 180 women were enrolled in this prospective study. Demographic data, body mass index, waist circumference, modified Ferriman–Gallwey scores, biochemical parameters, ultrasonographic findings, and maximum urinary flow rate (Q max) were analyzed. In addition, the Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Scored Form questionnaires were evaluated for each subject. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was calculated as 23.78±3.04 years, which was similar for both groups (p=0.340). Body mass index, waist circumference, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Scored Form, and modified Ferriman–Gallwey scores were significantly higher in group 2 (p<<0.001). Hyperandrogenism, lipid profile, and glucose metabolism disorders were more frequent in group 2 (p<<0.05). Bladder capacity (Q max), bladder wall thickness, and post-void residual volume values were similar in both groups (p>>0.05). CONCLUSION: In our study, a close relationship was observed between polycystic ovary syndrome and lower urinary tract symptoms. In this context, we think that a detailed urinary system evaluation of women with polycystic ovary syndrome is extremely important.

Aim: To evaluate the effects stopping the use of water and hands on preventing urinary tract infections (UTI) for a group of female patients having recurrent UTIs (rUTI). Material and Method: A retrospective observational study conducted in a tertiary care hospital between February 2017 and March 2018. 273 female patients which had rUTIs without any concomitant risk factors were included. In the study, 2 or more bacteriologically documented UTIs in the last 6 months were accepted as rUTI. The groups of the study defined as using their hands, using water only and using toilet paper (using either one of these two methods and then using toilet paper). Patients were observed for an average time of 10.4 months after stopping the use of water and hands for anal cleansing after defecation. Instead they were all given toilet education and started wiping for anal hygiene. Results: There was a statistically significant relationship between previous history of UTI and washing with hands + water (p=0.021). The rate of previous UTIs were significantly higher in the group of patients using their hands for anal washing (69% vs 31%). No relation was found between previous UTI history variable for using toilet paper and flushing with water only (p>0.05). Our results showed a statistically significant decrease of UTIs after stopping the use of water and hands in the patient group who had a previous UTI history (p=0.001). Conclusion: We managed to underline that washing with hands for anal cleansing as a risk factor for rUTIs in women. Also showed the positive effect of stopping the use of water and hands for anal cleansing after defecation for prevention from rUTIs. We encourage all clinicians for further studies to investigate this issue in the future.
