Background: Urinary incontinence (UI), involuntary escape of urine, is a common problem affecting (10-55%) of women but also a hidden issue. It could have a distressing influence on the social, familiar and sexual functions of the patients. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of UI on the female sexual function (FSF). Material and Methods: This case-control questionnaire-based study was conducted at Suez Canal University Hospitals, Ismailia at outpatient clinic from March 2016 to August 2017. Sixty nine patients with UI and 63 women free of UI were evaluated. Data on FSF were obtained by female sexual function index (FSFI) questionnaire. A score of 26.55 was the cut point between normal FSF and deficient sexual function (DSF). Results: The means of the six domains of the (FSFI) were significantly different between both groups (p <0.001). Stress UI had the poorest effect on all the FSFI domains except the satisfaction and pain domains were related to the other types. Conclusion: UI had a major poor effect on the female sexual function.
