Aim: To study the pathogenetic factors in the development of postcoital cystitis and the efficiency of extravaginal transposition of the urethra.
Materials And Methods: Literature data and our point of view on the causes of postcoital cystitis are described. Case histories of 438 patients aged 18 to 61 (mean 24+/-1.3) were analyzed. The efficiency of extravaginal transposition of the urethra for the prevention of recurrence of postcoital cystitis was evaluated.
Results: The long-term results of operations in 315 patients were studied. A positive effect was noted in 297 (94.3%), which means the complete recovery or reduction in the frequency of cystitis to 2 or less times a year, while complete recovery occurred in 214 patients. In 18 (5.7%), the surgical procedure was ineffective, which required repeated interventions.
Discussion: According to our observations, the external opening of the urethra is located in patients with postcoital cystitis and in healthy women at the same level - before the introitus. During sexual intercourse, everyone experiences vestibulo-vaginal frictional dislocation of the urethra, however, exacerbations of the inflammatory process in the bladder occur only in some females, which is associated with the multifactorial nature of the disease.
Conclusion: Postcoital cystitis develops as a result of a complex of factors, the most significant ofwhich are the state of the vaginal microflora, the virulence of uropathogenic bacteria, the anatomical features of the urethra and vagina, its narrowness with a mismatch with the penile size, the intensity and duration of sexual intercourse, severe, complicated childbirth and surgical procedures in this area. Performing extravaginal transposition of the urethra according to Komyakov demonstrated high efficiency in the prevention of recurrence of postcoital cystitis.

- Postcoital cystitis, a condition causing painful urination linked to sexual activity, negatively impacts patients' emotional wellbeing and overall quality of life, with reduced interest in surgical interventions due to better antibacterial treatments and hygiene practices.
- A study involving 56 menopausal women examined the efficacy of Superlymph suppositories, assessing their impact on postcoital cystitis symptoms through questionnaires and urine tests, while maintaining normal sexual activity.
- Results indicated that the first cystitis episode typically occurred around age 33, with a significant portion of women experiencing symptoms related to sexual activity, highlighting the need for effective management strategies in this population.

Introduction: To quantify and compare recurrent urinary tract infection costs between 1 year before and 1 year after electrofulguration.
Methods: Following IRB approval, a well-characterized cohort of non-neurogenic women with >3 symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs)/year, a negative upper and lower urinary tract evaluation, and inflammatory bladder lesions (cystitis) on office cystoscopy who underwent fulguration of these lesions was analyzed. Cost of visits, imaging, labs, and medications were summed for 1-year pre- and post-fulguration using the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, local pharmacy pricing, and institutional expenses.

Background: Among the plethora of urogynecological conditions possibly affecting women, some of them, less explored, have significant impacts on sexological and psychological health, with a mutual influence.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the sexological and psychological correlates of four urogynecological pathologies in a sample of women of childbearing age: overactive pelvic floor, vulvodynia, postcoital cystitis, and interstitial cystitis. Women cured of these conditions were also included, to assess the same aspects after the remission of physical symptoms.

Introduction: According to the literature, 20-50% of women will experience urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetime, and in 10-30% of cases, cystitis will recur. Despite the high prevalence of recurrent UTI, there are lack of studies dedicated to its impact on the quality of life, and the influence of postcoital cystitis on the quality of life and sexual function has not been previously evaluated.
Aim: To assess the quality of life and sexual function in patients with recurrent postcoital cystitis before and after transposition of the urethra.
