Purpose: Sexual performance is related to proprioception and pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS). The aim of this study was to correlate sexual activity and orgasm with PFMS. Materials and Methods: A total of 140 healthy continent female were prospectively distributed into 4 groups according to age: Group 1 (G1), 30–40; Group 2 (G2), 41–50; Group 3 (G3), 51–60; Group 4 (G4), over 60 years old. Evaluated parameters were: frequency of sexual activity and orgasm achievement; body mass index (BMI) and objective evaluation of PFMS using perineometer and surface electromyography. Results: BMI was higher in G4 compared to G1 (p=0.042). Women who reported sexual activity was significantly higher in G1 compared to G3 and G4 (94.1% vs. 66.7% and 37.5%, respectively; p=0.001). Orgasm was more frequently in G1 compared to G3 and G4 (91.2% vs. 63.9% and 28.1%, respectively; p=0.001), demonstrating that sexual activity and orgasm decrease after age 51. The duration of PFM contraction was significantly higher in women who had sexual intercourse (p=0.033) and orgasm (p=0.018). Conclusions: Although the frequency of sexual intercourse and orgasm may decrease with aging, a relationship between sexual activity and PFMS remains apparent, once both sexually active women and those who have orgasms showed better PFM endurance than non-sexually active ones.

Purpose: We evaluated the utility of 10-, 12-, and 16-core prostate biopsies for detectingprostate cancer (PCa) and correlated the results with prostate-specific antigen (PSA)levels, prostate volumes, Gleason scores, and detection rates of high-grade prostaticintraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) and atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP). Materials and Methods: A prospective controlled study was conducted in 354 consecutivepatients with various indications for prostate biopsy. Sixteen-core biopsy specimenswere obtained from 351 patients. The first 10-core biopsy specimens were obtainedbilaterally from the base, middle third, apex, medial, and latero-lateral regions. Afterward, six additional punctures were performed bilaterally in the areas more lateralto the base, middle third, and apex regions, yielding a total of 16-core biopsyspecimens. The detection rate of carcinoma in the initial 10-core specimens was comparedwith that in the 12- and 16-core specimens. Results: No significant differences in the cancer detection rate were found between thethree biopsy protocols. PCa was found in 102 patients (29.06%) using the 10-core protocol,in 99 patients (28.21%) using the 12-core protocol, and in 107 patients (30.48%) usingthe 16-core protocol (p=0.798). The 10-, 12-, and 16-core protocols were comparedwith stratified PSA levels, stratified prostate volumes, Gleason scores, and detectionrates of HGPIN and ASAP; no significant differences were found. Conclusions: Cancer positivity with the 10-core protocol was not significantly differentfrom that with the 12- and 16-core protocols, which indicates that the 10-core protocolis acceptable for performing a first biopsy.
