Female sexual dysfunction and pelvic floor surgery

Pelvic floor disorders represent one of the most significant elements influencing the female quality of life. There is a strong correlation between pathological signs and symptoms and elements that determine the quality of life in all aspects. This is an issue that regards all ages, no matter the beginning point. Nowadays we see an increasing consideration and a high interest in female sexuality as a key point in good life standards and wellbeing. One of the factors that influenced this rising interest is that the addressability over this matter became higher over the years and the society brought into light the female sexuality. The correlation between pelvic floor disorders followed by pelvic surgery and female sexual function is undeniable. Although this association is a known fact, the literature does not offer a compact and uniform opinion on this matter. The aim of this paper is to review the literature and to compare the data with our clinic experience. In this view we realized a prospective observational study where we followed-up women with pelvic floor disorders that underwent surgery.
