Abstract

Introduction: Pelvic floor surgery can significantly affect female sexual function and quality of life, impacting clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Understanding these effects is crucial for optimizing patient care.
Objective: To review the literature about the impact of pelvic floor surgery on female sexual function and quality of life.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted through PubMed and Scopus databases, covering publications from the last ten years. Articles were selected based on relevance, quality, and focus on sexual function and quality of life after pelvic floor surgery.
Results: Pelvic floor surgery may affect female sexual function through physical, emotional, and anatomical changes. Postoperative dysfunction may involve pain, vaginal scarring, altered anatomy, or psychological distress. Decreased function is reported in 13% of women undergoing stress incontinence surgery and 37.5% of those undergoing complex urgency-type incontinence surgery. However, many studies report improvements in quality of life and sexual function following successful repair of pelvic organ prolapse or incontinenc
Conclusion: Pelvic floor surgery can affect sexual function and the quality of life. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to help women regain sexual satisfaction and achieve optimal quality of life after pelvic floor surgery.
