dc.description.abstract Introduction and Hypothesis This study was aimed at investigating the hypothesis that sexual intercourse positions may have an impact on the occurrence of coital urinary incontinence (CUI) in women. Methods This case-control observational study enrolled 360 married, heterosexual, sexually active female participants with CUI. Each patient was evaluated using medical and sexual histories, questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory tests, including urodynamics. Participants were asked whether or not their intercourse positions had an impact on the occurrence of their CUI. Patients with intercourse position-dependent CUI were included in group 1, and those independent of it were allocated to group 2. The clinic and laboratory findings of the patient groups were compared. Results The patients' mean age was 47.24 +/- 0.57 years. Of these women, 28.9% (n = 104) were in group 1, and 71.1% (n = 256) were in group 2. Group 1 had a lower mean age, body mass index, Charlson comorbidity index, number of urinary incontinence episodes, severity of CUI and incontinence, and pad weight than group 2 (p < 0.05). The rates of detrusor overactivity and penetration type of CUI were higher in group 1 than in group 2 (p < 0.0009, p = 0.009 respectively). According to logistic regression analysis, the likelihood of sexual position-related CUI was 3.5 times higher in women with detrusor overactivity. Conclusions In certain patients, intercourse position is associated with the occurrence of CUI. This condition seems to be related to detrusor overactivity and is inversely associated with incontinence severity. However, further studies are necessary to explain this phenomenon. en_US
