ABSTRACT Introduction Urinary incontinence (UI) affects > 60% women. Its management is simple with the use of Kegel exercises. However, very few studies have been done in India about this problem and its solution. Objective To assess the impact of running a behavior therapy room (BTR) for various categories of UI cases in different age groups in obstetrics gynecology outpatient department (OBG-OPD) of a tertiary care hospital. Materials and methods Patients of UI were referred from gynecology OPD to BTR. There was trained staff available in BTR to teach Kegel exercises and related behavior therapy to the patients. Records of the patients were maintained. Follow-up was done through phone calls and personal visits of UI patients. Results A total of 251 cases were registered in BTR over 2 years. Overall 126 patients got relief from urine incontinence and prolapse of pelvic floor organs after BT. Conclusion Establishment of a separate room (BTR) with trained staff can be done in OBG department to teach Kegel exercises and to provide relief to women suffering from UI and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Recommendation Behavior therapy room should be established in gynecology OPDs of all hospitals. How to cite this article Kaur T, Dudeja P, Sharma M, Jain V, Singh A.

Self Administered Questionnaire

Urinary incontinence affects 30% of women by the time they reach 50 years of age and continues to increase thereafter. Symptoms vary in severity and adversely impact on the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of affected individuals. By means of a self-administered questionnaire, the study investigated the prevalence of urinary incontinence and its effects on the quality of life in women working at the Universitas Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein in 2007. Pregnant women were not included in the study. One hundred and nine questionnaires were analysed. Participants were 24–62 years of age (mean age 44.4 years). Of these, 27.5% reported symptoms of urinary incontinence. Only one affected individual was younger than 30 years. Three-quarters of affected women rated their symptoms as light to moderate. In 34.6% of the affected women, the condition did not interfere with everyday activities at all, but 11.5% reported severe interference. Information regarding urinary incontinence, precautionary measures, such as Kegel exercises, and its associated psychosocial consequences, should be disseminated to women of all ages.

They include genuine urinary incontinence, bladder and bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, weakness of the pelvic muscles, weakness of the muscles of the core stability, as well as the prolapse of pelvic organs. Pregnancy and subsequent vaginal delivery are associated causes of pelvic floor muscle disorders. Approximately 60% and 50% of community settlers and residents of nursing homes respectively are affected by urinary incontinence and the numbers increase with hysterectomy. Multiple birth, obesity, chronic coughs, overweight babies, and heavy lifting are associated risk factors. Treatment of pelvic floor muscle disorders should involve an increased physical activity prescription among women diagnosed with weaker pelvic floor muscles, engaging the multidisciplinary team, increasing the quality of life and functioning of women during and after pregnancy.
