During a 4-year period from 1993 to 1997, a total of 2153 women were referred to our urogynaecology clinic complaining of urinary incontinence. Of these women, 228 (10.6%) admitted to coital incontinence. Only 22 of these 228 women complained of this symptom without direct questioning. Urine loss occurred during penetration in 158 women, during orgasm in 45 women and during both in 25 women. Comparison of these groups showed few other differences in their presenting symptoms, examination findings, urodynamic data or diagnosis. Genuine stress incontinence was present in 79.8% of women with urinary leakage during penetration, in 93.2% with leak on orgasm and in 92.0% who leaked on both. Detrusor instability was uncommon. In most women who complain of urinary leakage during sexual intercourse, the underlying pathophysiological mechanism is urethral sphincter incompetence. Compared with women presenting with urinary incontinence in the absence of coital incontinence, women with coital leakage had a higher incidence of stress and urge incontinence, and a significantly greater incidence of anterior vaginal wall prolapse and demonstrable stress incontinence on examination.
