Introduction And Hypothesis: The high prevalence of pelvic floor disorders in women requires assessments using validated instruments. We aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt to Brazilian Portuguese, and analyze the measurement properties of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Vaginal Symptoms Module (ICIQ-VS-Br).
Methods: Participants were Brazilian women older than 18 years presenting vulvovaginal symptoms according to the Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire (VSQ-Br).
Introduction And Hypothesis: The worldwide prevalence of sexual dysfunction in women is high; therefore, an adequate assessment of this condition is necessary, with instruments validated for the Brazilian population. The aim was to translate and adapt the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Female Sexual Matters Associated with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms into Brazilian Portuguese (ICIQ-FLUTSsex-Br) and analyze its measurement properties.
Methods: We recruited Brazilian women, literate, over 18 years old, who had had sexual intercourse in the last 4 weeks and had urinary loss.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of FSD in Brazilian women and identify any factors that may be associated with its presence.
