Sexual Activity and Dyspareunia 1 Year After Surgical Repair of Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe sexual activity and risks for dyspareunia after pelvic organ prolapse surgery.

Methods

This was a secondary analysis of data from four randomized trials conducted between 2002 and 2018. Standard assessments and validated measures of sexual function were assessed at baseline and at 12 months postoperatively. Anterior apical surgeries were grouped by approach: transvaginal native tissue repairs, transvaginal mesh or graft-augmented repairs, and abdominal sacrocolpopexy. Additional surgeries, which included posterior repair, hysterectomy, and slings, were analyzed. Bivariate analyses and logistic regression models identified risk factors for postoperative dyspareunia.

Results

Of the 1,337 women enrolled in the trials, 932 had sufficient outcome data
