We aimed to validate the PISQ-12 in pre-and postmenopausal women and to assess the sexual function before and after POP reconstructive surgery. One hundred and forty sexually active patients were hospitalized due to symptomatic POP and 50 healthy controls were enrolled into the study. The patients were asked to complete PISQ-12, the FSFI and Beck\u2019s depression scale questionnaires twice. The Cronbach\u2019s alpha (\u03b1) was used to estimate the internal consistency. The scores were compared using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Improvement in the QoSL (quality of sexual life) was observed in each age group of women. Pre-menopausal patients\u2019 QoSL was much better, both before and after surgery (29.62 and 34.64 points, respectively). The correlation between questionnaires before surgery was 0.63, and after was \u22120.76. The \u03b1 value for the PISQ-12 was 0.83 before the procedure and 0.80 afterwards. In all the groups, the test\u2013retest reliability was good\u2014ICC = 0.72. Vaginal reconstructive surgeries improve the QoSL. The only demographic factor influencing the QoSL was the menopausal status. The Polish version of the PISQ-12 is a reliable and responsive instrument for assessing the sexual function in patients with diagnosed POP and\/or UI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10184167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,15]],"date-time":"2021-09-15T12:00:44Z","timestamp":1631707244000},"page":"4167","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Reliability of the Polish Pelvic Organ Prolapse\/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) and Assessment of Sexual Function before and after Pelvic Organ Prolapse Reconstructive Surgery\u2014A Prospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Kami\u0144ska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Gynecology, Medical University, 20-954 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Skorupska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Gynecology, Medical University, 20-954 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4258-0133","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Kubik-Komar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Life Science, 20-033 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7864-666X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konrad","family":"Futyma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Gynecology, Medical University, 20-954 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Filipczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University of Lublin, 20-059 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Rechberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Gynecology, Medical University, 20-954 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"513","article-title":"Collagen-coated vs noncoated low-weight polypropylene meshes in a sheep model for vaginal surgery.
