Overview

Urinary incontinence (UI) affects about half of adult women globally and can impact their sex life. Energy-based treatments are a minimally invasive option for UI, but their effects on sexual function are unknown. This study aims to determine if these energy treatments can actually improve sexual function in women with UI.

Original Abstract of the Article :
Urinary incontinence (UI) affects approximately 50% of adult women worldwide and is associated with declining sexual function (SF). Energy-based devices emerged as a minimally invasive alternative treatment. Nevertheless, their effect on sexuality is uncertain. We hypothesize that the UI energy trea...See full text at original site

Energy-Based Treatments for Urinary Incontinence: Impacts on Sexual Function

Urinary incontinence (UI), a common condition affecting women, can lead to significant physical and emotional discomfort, often impacting sexual function. This systematic review and meta-analysis explore the potential impact of energy-based treatments for UI on sexual function. The authors investigated the available evidence to determine whether energy-based treatments, often considered minimally invasive alternatives, improve sexual function in women with UI.

Energy-Based Treatments: A Potential Oasis in the Desert of UI

The systematic review's findings are encouraging, suggesting that energy-based treatments for UI may be associated with improvements in sexual function. The authors found that these treatments can lead to positive changes in various aspects of sexual function, such as arousal, lubrication, and orgasm. However, the researchers also acknowledge the limitations of the current evidence base and call for further research to confirm these findings.

Navigating the Desert of UI: A Holistic Approach

The desert of UI can be a challenging landscape for women, impacting their physical well-being and overall quality of life. This systematic review offers a potential oasis of relief, suggesting that energy-based treatments could provide a more holistic approach to managing UI, addressing not only the physical symptoms but also the impact on sexual function.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This systematic review sheds light on the potential benefits of energy-based treatments for UI, suggesting that these treatments may improve sexual function in women with UI. This research underscores the importance of considering the impact of UI treatments on sexual function and adopting a holistic approach to managing this condition.
