Sexual Function After Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery. Improvement in sexual function is an important goal for many women undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, and patient counseling regarding changes in sexual function and activity is necessary prior to pelvic reconstructive surgery. Based on validated questionnaires, sexual function either remains unchanged or improves after pelvic reconstructive surgery for prolapse, while dyspareunia prevalence is reduced. De novo dyspareunia ranges from 0% to 9% after various types of prolapse surgery, with the exception of posterior repair.
