Urinary incontinence is a very frequent symptom in our population. Half the incontinent subjects suffer from some degree of psychosocial limitation. The volume of urine loss and being married are the most important factors with psychosocial impact.
Prevalence of UI is high, incidence is moderate and remission is low. Urinary incontinence is a dynamic problem and does not affect mortality. Impaired mobility has a strong influence on UI incidence.
Seeking of UI medical help was very limited and depends on variables related to perception in symptom's changes. Diagnosis and treatment done by professionals was suboptimal. Severity of UI conditions diagnosis and treatment.
