Abstract

Our study aimed to investigate the state and quality of sexual function in patients after reconstructive gynecological surgeries for genital prolapse. The study included two groups of patients. Group I consisted of 25 patients who underwent classical anterior and posterior colporrhaphy. Group II comprised 18 women who underwent colporrhaphy in combination with laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, aimed at fixing displaced organs in their anatomical position using a polyvinyl chloride mesh endoprosthesis. In most patients in both groups, as assessed using the European Association of Urology questionnaire (Female Sexual Function Test) before the operation, the quality of their sexual life was compromised. Our study revealed that women with genital prolapse exhibited various degrees of sexual function impairment. Significant improvement in indicators was observed in the first group of women after classical colporrhaphy at the 6-month follow-up. The overall score increased from 17% to 25% in Group I, which significantly contributed to an overall improvement in the quality of life.
