In sexually active women, the diagnosis, ventriculoperitoneal shunt in situ, mobility, and clean intermittent catheterization did not show a significant difference between each subdomain (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain) and the total FSFI score. However, women who did not have urinary incontinence experienced better sexual function in terms of lubrication and pain scores (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.033 and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.026, respectively).
