Abstract Background The prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in adult female in Taiyuan and what are the related risk factors are not clear. The aim of this study was to provide a basis for exploring the prevention and treatment of SUI in adult female in Taiyuan. Methods A voluntary online questionnaire was used to investigate adult female in the community and surrounding townships of Taiyuan. Most of the questionnaires refer to the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, and adapt to the specific circumstances of the region. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 22.0). Results A total of 4004 eligible questionnaires were obtained. The prevalence of SUI in adult female in Taiyuan was 33.5%. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that place of residence, smoking, body mass index, diet, number of deliveries, mode of delivery, dystocia, menopause, oral contraceptives, urinary tract infection, making the bladder empty faster by pushing down and holding urine were risk factors for adult female stress urinary incontinence in Taiyuan. Conclusion The prevalence of SUI in adult female in Taiyuan was high, and based on risk factors identified in this survey, population-level intervention strategies should be developed for the prevention and treatment of adult female SUI in Taiyuan.

HIGHLIGHT 1. Trend of delivery types during Covid-19 pandemic and the risk of urogynecology cases, particularly sexual dysfunction, pelvic floor dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence, was reviewed.2. Cesarean section was found higher than normal deliveries due to the consideration of possiblee exposure to the virus.3. Sexual dysfunction was found not to have relations to mode of delivery, but those with mode of delivery other than normal likely had dyspareunia at 18 months postpartum.4. The choice of method of delivery needs to be determined wisely by considering medical indications and the risk factors. ABSTRACTWomen's quality of life in the long term is also influenced by their reproductive health. Various diseases appear related to urogynecology cases such as sexual dysfunction, pelvic floor dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence. The study reviews the trend of types of delivery during the pandemic and the risk of urogynecology cases, especially in the three cases. The narrative review study was conducted using the PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. The results showed that the percentage of cesarean section was higher than normal deliveries because of the view on the safety of exposure to the virus. Several studies have found that sexual dysfunction was not related to mode of delivery but women who delivered by emergency caesarean section, vacuum extraction, or caesarean section were more likely to report dyspareunia at 18 months postpartum but adjusted for maternal age and other confounders. Meanwhile, compared with spontaneous vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery with a protective effect or reduction of stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, and pelvic organ prolapse. There is a tendency to choose a certain pattern of delivery so that the choice of method needs to be chosen wisely and through medical indications and consider risk factors for long-term reproductive health problems.

This chapter covers conditions affecting the lower urinary tract. It begins with an overview and management strategies of overactive bladder syndrome, including both conservative and pharmacological methods. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is covered in detail, from an overview and risk factors, to conservative, surgical, and other interventions. The controversy surrounding synthetic mid-urethral slings is highlighted. Other types of urinary continence are defined, alongside voiding dysfunction. Finally, drugs that can affect bladder function are listed.

Background: Mode of delivery and some certain risk factors have a relationship to postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI). For that reason, the objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the relationship between postpartum SUI and mode of delivery; and the association between SUI and other demographic and obstetric factors.Methods: In this prospective observational cohort study, all primiparous women who were under postpartum care in obstetric and gynecologic ward were recruited. Four hundreds primiparous women with no history of urinary incontinence (UI) who fulfilled the criteria and would like to participate in this study were followed up for three months after delivery. The analysis was done using Stata 12. Bivariate analysis using Chi-square test and multivariate analysis using logistic regression test were done to obtain associated risk factors to postpartum SUI.Results: The prevalence of postpartum SUI was 8.8%. The mode of delivery was significantly associated with postpartum SUI, there were more women who got vaginal delivery that had stress urinary incontinence (14.1%) compared to women caesarean section (7.1%) with OR=2.1 (95% CI=1.05-4.31), this risk increased when vaginal delivery was assisted with vacuum instrument (OR=9.1, 95% CI=3.9-21.6). There was no statistical difference of stress urinary incontinence incidences in patients with emergency or elective caesarean section with OR=0.84 (95% CI=0.28-2.57). Based on multivariate analysis BMI ≥30 kg/m2 at labor, vacuum assisted delivery, birth weight more than 3,360 g, and second stage labor more than 60 minutes appeared to be associated with an increased rate of postpartum SUI.Conclusion: Stress urinary incontinence increased in the early postpartum period of a primiparous woman. Although vaginal delivery increased the risk of postpartum SUI, elective nor emergency caesarean delivery without vaginal delivery id not appear to increase the risk of stress urinary incontinence.

Background: The health and financial burden imposed by chronic non-communicable diseases is expected to increase in parallel with the rapid rate of global population aging. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is an important health problem. Medical professionals should thus provide their patients with knowledge about the appropriate prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, including SUI. Aim of the study: This study compared the level of knowledge concerning the risk factors, prevention, and treatment of SUI in women between physiotherapy graduates at two different Universities with a focus on medicine (Med) and physical education (PE). Material and Methods: This study included final-year physiotherapy students (n=401). Respondents provided answers to open-ended questions used to measure their knowledge about SUI in women. Results: The complete and correct definition of SUI was provided by 64.4% of the students at University Med, and 56.3% of the students at University PE. Students at University Med, in comparison with the students at University PE, had a significantly higher awareness of the risk factors (86.4% vs. 69.4%), prevention methods (85.6% vs. 68.7%), and conservative (92.4% vs. 77.8%) as well as surgical treatment (28.0% vs 6.7%) of SUI in women (p<0.001). Conclusions: There is a need for greater emphasis on education about SUI in order to better prepare physiotherapy graduate students to provide optimal care to their female patients. The disciplinary focus of Universities that provide graduate programs in physiotherapy plays a significant role in gaining knowledge about SUI.
