RESUMO
To investigate serum estradiol, progesterone and dehydroepiandrosterone levels on FSD in females having urinary incontinence (UI), we studied 150 females [100 having UI (50 with FSD and 50 without FSD) and 50 controls]. There were significant lower estradiol and progesterone and higher DHEA serum levels in patients than controls (P = 0.001for all). In UI patients, females having sexual disruption had significantly low levels of estradiol (p = 0.001). Low estradiol serum level represented an isolated predictive factor for sexual dysfunction in incontinent female patients (p = 0.001). A low estradiol serum level might be a possible risk factor for FSD in women having UI.
