AB Background: Pelvic floor dysfunctions affect a third of the adult female population, including a large number of clinical conditions, which can be evaluated through validated questionnaires that inform us of the status and perception of women both objectively and subjectively. The main objective of this study was to review and explain the topics of the validated questionnaires in Spanish on pelvic floor dysfunctions and to review their psychometric properties. Methods: A systematic review was carried out in the PUBMED and WOS databases. The keywords used were in PUBMED: (((((((("Fecal Incontinence" [Mesh]) OR "Urinary Incontinence" [Mesh]) OR "Pelvic Organ Prolapse" [Mesh]) OR "Pelvic Floor Disorders" [Mesh]) OR "Sexual Dysfunction, Physiological" [Mesh]) OR "Pelvic Girdle Pain" [Mesh]) OR "sexual function" [Title/Abstract]) OR "Prolapse" [Title/Abstract]) AND "Surveys and Questionnaires" [Mesh] AND "Validation" [Title/Abstract] combined with the Boolean operators "AND"/"OR". In contrast, in WOS, a segregated search was carried out with each of the terms of pelvic floor dysfunction together with "Validation" and "Surveys and Questionnaires". All articles published up to 19 November 2021 were considered. Methodological quality was assessed with the COSMIN scale. Results: A total of 687 articles were identified, of which 13 were included. The evaluated questionnaires and the structural characteristics and psychometric properties of each of them were collected. Conclusion: The Spanish versions of the questionnaires show good basic structural and psychometric characteristics for the evaluation of patients with pelvic floor dysfunctions and that they resemble other versions of the same questionnaire published in other languages.
