Background: Female sexual function has been shown to improve with overactive bladder (OAB) treatment.
Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of anticholinergics (ACHs) or a beta-agonist (BAG) on female sexual function.
Methods: This was a prospective multicenter cohort study.
Objective: The aims of this study were to determine the proportion of women presenting for recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) who met the diagnostic criteria (culture-proven UTI ≥3 in 1 year or ≥2 in 6 months) and to assess advanced testing utilization, preventive therapy use, and risk factors.
Methods: This is a retrospective chart review of women seen as new urogynecology consults for recurrent UTI (rUTI) between April 1, 2017, and April 1, 2018, followed through April 1, 2019. Exclusion criteria included catheter use, cancer treatment within 2 years, and prior organ transplant, urinary diversion, conduit, or bladder augmentation.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of opioid pain medication use among patients presenting for a new visit to the urogynecology clinic compared with those presenting to general gynecology.
Methods: We identified all patients who presented for new patient visits to the urogynecology and gynecology clinics between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2016. Any previous or current opioid use was extracted from the electronic medical record medication list.
Objective: This study aimed to estimate dysplasia rate in histologically evaluated endocervical polyps and to compare histological and clinical characteristics of dysplastic (D) polyps with those displaying representative benign changes.
Materials And Methods: Endocervical polyps removed at Mayo Clinic from January 1994 to December 2010 were categorized as polyp without other descriptors, benign polyp variants, adenomatous or reactive atypical (AR) polyps, and D polyps. Clinical characteristics, cervical cytological result, and polyp histological result of patients in the latter 2 categories were compared.
