Urinary incontinence is a debilitating problem in women with significant effects on quality of life. The tension free vaginal tape (TVT) improves urinary symptoms and achieves a high rate of patient satisfaction. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of TVT on vaginal symptoms, pelvic floor function and in turn quality of life. We hypothesize that the TVT is associated with an improvement in pelvic floor function. A prospective questionnaire- based analysis was conducted over a period of ten months in patients undergoing the TVT procedure. The International Consul - tation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Vaginal Symptoms questionnaire was used to evaluate the vaginal symptoms pre-operatively and 6 months post-operatively. The results were compared to assess for any significant differences. A total of 31 patients were recruited for the study. There was a statistically significant improvement in vaginal symptoms score at 6 months in women undergoing TVT along with an improvement in urinary symptoms. This study suggests a positive impact of TVT insertion on vaginal symptomatology, which is an exciting prospect influencing patient counseling for treatment options of urinary stress incontinence. This finding may have an impact on performing concomitant surgeries for stress incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. There is a need for further large–scale research to explore this aspect of unexpected benefit from the TVT.
