Brief Summary

Fundamentals of scientific research The "coital incontinence" (IC), defined as the "involuntary loss of urine in association with sexual intercourse." The incidence reported in the literature ranges from 10% to 27%, but is likely to be underestimated because of the embarrassment of the woman to report the disturbance. It was in fact estimated that only 3% of women speaks spontaneously to their doctor, and increases up to 20% only after a request by the medical staff. The CI is traditionally divided into two forms:

• ICIQ-UI on urinary incontinence short-form: for the evaluation of symptoms and quality of life:
• Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC): to assess the impact of such a subjective condition;
• Urinary incontinence and quality of sexuality;
• Urinary incontinence and frequency of sexual activity; The questionnaire is anonymous in order to protect privacy. The patients will be recruited at the outpatient surgery and Urogynaecology urodynamics of Urology Clinic of the University of Perugia. The investigators defined that the statistically significant number of subjects can not be less than 200 units. The time duration of the collection of medical records was estimated at two years. There are no extremes of the conflict of interest, will not be tested or used drugs or medical equipment.
