Sexual health after urine control surgery in women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how a type of surgery to control urine leakage (called an artificial urinary sphincter) affects sexual function in women. If you are considering this surgery, participating helps doctors understand how it impacts your sexual well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 80 years old.

- You agree to the surgery and are willing to be part of this study.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and your expected health allows for at least 2 more years of life.
- You have not had a surgery called colpocleisis, do not have nerve problems that cause loss of feeling, and do not have long-lasting pelvic pain.

This study tests a new device called an artificial urinary sphincter that is implanted to help control severe stress urinary incontinence (leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) in women. The device aims to provide a long-term solution for those who have not improved with other treatments.
This study tests a new artificial urinary sphincter (a device that helps control urine flow) for men with severe stress incontinence (leakage during activity) that has lasted over a year. If you qualify, the device is implanted to help you stay dry. It is not for everyone, so the study will check your health history carefully.
This study looks at men who are having surgery for stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exerting yourself) using devices like a sling or artificial urinary sphincter. It will follow how patients do after surgery using questionnaires, to understand benefits and experiences.
This study looks at how well women recover bladder control after having their bladder removed and replaced with a new bladder made from intestine. It may help improve care for women who need this surgery.
This trial is testing an adjustable artificial sphincter called Victo to help men who leak urine after prostate surgery. It may improve bladder control and quality of life.
This trial tests if doing pelvic floor exercises before surgery helps women with stress urinary incontinence (leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). It aims to see if preparing the pelvic floor muscles leads to better results after surgery.
