| Abstract | ||
| Background: The abnormal fall or herniation of the pelvic organs is known as pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and its incidence tends to rise with age. A growing number of adult women are dealing with POP as a result of the steady improvement in life expectancy. Because of the high recurrence rate after conventional transvaginal POP repairs, vaginal mesh was initially used for this purpose. Aim and objectives: The purpose of using a validated questionnaire based on the Female Sexual Function Index is to assess a woman's libido following vaginal repair surgery. Patients and methods: The Al-Hussien Hospital and Qena Public Hospital of Al-Azhar University conducted this prospective observational study from August 2023 to August 2024 which including 50 cases that had vaginal repair after anterior, posterior wall vaginal prolapse or vertical uterine prolapse then follow up after four months by reported questionnaire to assess female sexual function index which has normal range 2-36. Results: Study didn't find a correlation between sexual dysfunction and age. We also didn't find statistically significant differences between preoperative and postoperative sexual activity. This contradicts previous research that linked reduced libido to continued erectile dysfunction after surgery and emphasizes the significance of providing patients with thorough postoperative counseling about what to expect. Conclusion: Vaginal repair does not affect sexual dysfunction significantly after 4 months of surgery, but it may enhance sexual dysfunction in elderly patients. | ||
