Aims To enable the use of ICIQ‐FLUTS, ICIQ‐FLUTS‐long‐form (ICIQ‐FLUTS‐LF), ICIQ‐LUTS‐quality‐of‐life (ICIQ‐LUTSqol), and ICIQ‐FLUTS sexual functions (ICIQ‐FLUTSsex) in Turkish speaking women, questionnaires were translated into Turkish and validity, reliability, and sensitivity to change were evaluated in women suffering from urinary incontinence (UI). Materials and Methods Permissions were obtained from ICIQ Advisory Board, English versions of the questionnaires were initially translated into Turkish, then back‐translated into English and translations were modified according to recommendations of ICIQ Advisory Board. Pilot testing was performed in 10 women. Validity (content/face validity and discriminant validity), reliability (test‐retest reliability and internal consistency), and sensitivity to change were evaluated. Results A total of 58 women with UI completed ICIQ‐FLUTS, ICIQ‐LUTSqol, and the ICIQ‐FLUTS‐LF, and 37 who were sexually active completed ICIQ‐FLUTSsex. All women completed same questionnaires 15 days later. More than 90% of women thought that the questions were clear, unequivocal, and comprehensive. Missing data were less than 1% indicating adequate content/face validity. Cronbach's α coefficients were .933 (ICIQ‐FLUTS), .979 (ICIQ‐LUTSqol), .865 (ICIQ‐FLUTS‐LF), and .863 (ICIQ‐FLUTSsex), representing adequate internal consistency. Kappa values and intraclass correlation coefficient for individual items were over 0.70, indicating adequate test‐retest reliability. A total of 52 healthy volunteers completed ICIQ‐FLUTS and ICIQ‐FLUTS‐LF, 30 completed ICIQ‐LUTSqol, and 30 sexually active healthy volunteers completed ICIQ‐FLUTSsex. All four questionnaires had good discriminant validity. Twenty‐eight women with UI were analyzed 3 months after treatment. There was significant improvement in four questionnaires in correlation with pre‐ and posttreatment bladder diary results showing good sensitivity to change. Conclusion Turkish versions of four ICIQ modules were shown valid and reliable and can be used in Turkish speaking women in the evaluation of UI.

“…However, the duration and severity of UI may not be correlated with the adverse effects on sexual functions 20,21 . Coital incontinence is directly associated with sexual dysfunction 22 . In this study, improvement in sexual functions has been observed in women after treatment of UI, which is in agreement with the literature 23…”

Urinary incontinence symptoms are highly prevalent among women, have a substantial effect on health-related quality of life and are associated with considerable personal and societal expenditure. Two main types are described: stress urinary incontinence, in which urine leaks in association with physical exertion, and urgency urinary incontinence, in which urine leaks in association with a sudden compelling desire to void. Women who experience both symptoms are considered as having mixed urinary incontinence. Research has revealed overlapping potential causes of incontinence, including dysfunction of the detrusor muscle or muscles of the pelvic floor, dysfunction of the neural controls of storage and voiding, and perturbation of the local environment within the bladder. A full diagnostic evaluation of urinary incontinence requires a medical history, physical examination, urinalysis, assessment of quality of life and, when initial treatments fail, invasive urodynamics. Interventions can include non-surgical options (such as lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor muscle training and drugs) and surgical options to support the urethra or increase bladder capacity. Future directions in research may increasingly target primary prevention through understanding of environmental and genetic risks for incontinence.
