Objective: To evaluate sexual function among German urogynecological patients compared to a control group without urogynecological symptoms, using the validated German version of the Australian pelvic floor questionnaire.
Study Design: Retrospective study including 313 women divided into five subgroups: women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), overactive bladder (OAB), mixed incontinence (MI), pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and healthy controls. The self-administered questionnaire is divided into three domains: bladder, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual function.

To identify these genes, we developed a novel signal sequence trap method called Escherichia coli ampicillin secretion trap (CAST).
