Aim: To determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence of women attending gynae outdoor patient department. Method: It is a prospective cross sectional study conducted at Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital for three months. Types of incontinence, their presentation, associated factors, age and parity were the variables studied. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results: Out of 950 gynaecological out-patients, 97 had urinary incontinence(10.2%); 34.1% were in 50- 59 years and 37.2% were multipara. Stressurinary incontinence (SUI) was the most common incontinence (56.7%) followed by mixed urinary incontinence (22.7%) and urge urinary incontinence (20.6%). Common complaints were leakage during coughing (63.6%) and sneezing(18.2%) in SUI;urgency and frequency were main problem in mixed and urge urinary incontinence. Three-fourth cases had associated medical conditions and rest had gynecological factors. Conclusions: Urinary incontinence is common in the fifth decade of life of women and more than half had stress incontinence.

Significant Difference

Background and objectives: Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. Studies have reported that the severity of urinary incontinence symptoms can cause decreased quality of life and female sexual dysfunction in women, but the association between the duration of the incontinence and the aforementioned disturbances has not been evaluated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in the occurrence of decreased quality of life and female sexual dysfunction in Croatian women with urinary incontinence, with regard to the duration and subtype of urinary incontinence. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from March 2017 to July 2018 at our neurourology and urodynamics outpatient clinic, among 120 women with urinary incontinence symptoms. Based on medical history, physical exam and urodynamic assessment, participants were divided into groups with stress-, urgency- and mixed urinary incontinence. Several quality of life and female sexual dysfunction questionnaires were used for evaluation. The differences between the three UI groups were tested by the Kruskal–Wallis test. All p values were two-sided. The level of significance was set to Alpha = 0.05. Results: The mixed urinary incontinence group had a significantly inferior quality of life (p = 0.003) and lower scores on the female sexual dysfunction questionnaires (p = 0.02). The longer the duration of incontinence King’s Health Questionnaire total score was worse (p = 0.003) and Female Sexual Function Index total score was worse (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the occurrence of decreased quality of life and female sexual dysfunction considering the duration and subtype of incontinence in Croatian women.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Identifying the prevalence of Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), Urge urinary incontinence (UUI), Functional urinary incontinence (FUI), Overflow urinary incontinence (OUI) and Reflex urinary incontinence (RUI) nursing diagnoses and their defining characteristics in stroke patients. METHOD A cross-sectional study with 156 patients treated in a neurological clinic. Data were collected through interviews and forwarded to nurses for diagnostic inference. RESULTS 92.3% of the patients had at least one of the studied diagnoses; OUI showed the highest prevalence (72.4%), followed by FUI (53.2%), RUI (50.0%), UUI (41.0%) and SUI (37.8%). Overdistended bladder and reports of inability to reach the toilet in time to avoid urine loss were the most prevalent defining characteristics. A statistically significant association of the defining characteristics with the studied diagnosis was verified. CONCLUSION The five incontinence diagnoses were identified in the evaluated patients, with different prevalence.

Abstract Objective To determine whether there is an increased risk of urinary incontinence in daughters and sisters of incontinent women. Design Population based cross sectional study. Setting EPINCONT (the epidemiology of incontinence in the county of Nord-Trøndelag study), a substudy of HUNT 2 (the Norwegian Nord-Trøndelag health survey 2), 1995-7. Participants 6021 mothers, 7629 daughters, 332 granddaughters, and 2104 older sisters of 2426 sisters. Main outcome measures Adjusted relative risks for urinary incontinence. Results The daughters of mothers with urinary incontinence had an increased risk for urinary incontinence (1.3, 95% confidence interval 1.2 to 1.4; absolute risk 23.3%), stress incontinence (1.5, 1.3 to 1.8; 14.6%), mixed incontinence (1.6, 1.2 to 2.0; 8.3%), and urge incontinence (1.8, 0.8 to 3.9; 2.6%). If mothers had severe symptoms then their daughters were likely to have such symptoms (1.9, 1.3 to 3.0; 4.0%). The younger sisters of female siblings with urinary incontinence, stress incontinence, or mixed incontinence had increased relative risks of, respectively, 1.6 (1.3 to 1.9; absolute risk 29.6%), 1.8 (1.3 to 2.3; 18.3%), and 1.7 (1.1 to 2.8; 10.8%). Conclusion Women are more likely to develop urinary incontinence if their mother or older sisters are incontinent.

Background: Many predictors of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) during pregnancy have been investigated. However, no studies have specifically identified a cutoff for pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength and associated factors that could predict SUI during pregnancy. The aim of this study was to identify the cutoff between PFM strength and SUI, late in the third trimester of pregnancy and associated factors in Indonesian women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 142 women with a pregnancy of 36–40 weeks of gestational age at the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic of Tebet Subdistrict Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. The data were collected through a medical interview, Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis, physical examination, perineometer, and cough test. Results: SUI was identified in 54.2% of the 142 women. PFM strength 25.5 cmH2O and estimated fetal weight (EFW) ³3,100 g were the factors with the greatest influence on SUI (odds ratio (OR) = 2.52, p = 0.021, and OR = 3.34, p = 0.001, respectively). For women with PFM strength £25.5 cmH2O and EFW ³3,100 g, the prediction for SUI was ~75.39%. Conclusion: Weakening of the PFMs and EFW influence SUI. The cutoff values identified for both variables may be helpful for predicting SUI late in pregnancy.

Abstract BackgroundUrinary Incontinence (involuntary loss of urine) is a highly prevalent problem among women with profound effects on their quality of life. Patients tend to conceal their problems and avoid seeking medical help, which results in their prolonged illness and psychological depression. Only a few researchers have focused on finding out the characteristics of incontinent women with prolonged treatment denial. These women's shared features can serve as predictors of treatment delay; screening the incontinent patients for these predictors can point out the susceptible women with delayed help-seeking behaviour who need in-depth counselling and support for their treatment. This cross-sectional study was designed to investigate the predictors of treatment delays of urinary Incontinence among Pakistani women.Methods We performed this survey at Lady Willingdon Hospital outdoor from july1to Dec 31, 2019. We randomly selected one-hundred and six women with urinary incontinence from the gynaecology outdoor to fill the study Performa(sample size calculated with Raosoft, sample size calculator, Inc 2004). The Performa included risk factors of incontinence: demographic features, psychosocial effects of incontinence, the logic behind treatment delay, and the Incontinence Questionnaire UI-short form for incontinence characteristics. We evaluated predictors by analyzing shared risk factors of treatment delay by regression analysis (IBM SPSS statistics 20; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). ResultsThe mean age of participants was 56.11±11.24years (30-77years). Treatment delay ranged from 1-30years; about half of the participants (48.1%) reported >3-year delay. The shared risk factors of treatment-delay were elderly age (OR=1.163; CI:1.075-1.259), embarrassment (OR = 8.15;CI:2.117-31.382), lower subjective severity of symptoms (OR=.316;CI:133-.978) and stress incontinence (OR=8.09;CI:1.87-35).ConclusionIn this cross-sectional survey of urinary incontinent women, elderly age, embarrassment, lower subjective severity of symptoms, and stress incontinence were predictors of treatment-delay among Pakistani women. Trial registrationThis study had ethical approval from King Edward Medical University and registered retrospectively at Clinical trials.gov with reg #NCT04470700 on 13-07-2020.
