“…The common types of urinary incontinence recorded in this study were urgency (33.3%), stress (22.9%), and mixed (20.8%). This is consistent with findings from previous studies that identified stress, urgency and mixed incontinence as the three main subtypes of incontinence in women [ 12 , 13 , 17 – 19 ]. Studies however differ on which type is the most prevalent.…”

“…Studies however differ on which type is the most prevalent. This study identifies urgency incontinence as the commonest type similar to findings of Badejoko et al [ 17 ], but differs from other studies in the sub-region that identified stress incontinence as the most common [ 18 , 19 ].…”

“…This symptom questionnaire is made up of three scored questions regarding frequency of urinary incontinence (scored from 0 to 5), amount of leakage (scored from 0 to 6), and overall inconvenience (scored from 0 to 10). These three items sum up to give an overall score from 0 to 21 points, which has been PLOS ONE graded by Klovning A et al [25] as slight (1-5), moderate (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12), severe (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18), and very severe (19)(20)(21). A score of 0 indicates no incontinence symptoms.…”

“…The higher prevalence of demonstrable stress incontinence may be an overestimate as women with an uncomfortably full bladder may leak urine on coughing even though that might not be the situation under normal conditions. It may also be that women do not often report the condition because it is not deemed worrisome or out of embarrassment [ 19 ]. In addition, the study did not report on whether incontinence affected the quality of life of participants.…”

The study assessed the prevalence and determinants of non-fistulous urinary incontinence among gynaecologic care seekers as well as its interference with everyday life activities of affected women. A cross-sectional study involving 400 women was conducted in a tertiary facility in Ghana. Urinary incontinence was assessed using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-short form (ICIQ-SF) which has not been validated locally. The questionnaire was administered mostly in the Asante Twi language with translation done at the time of the interview. The data was analysed for proportions and associations between selected variables. The prevalence of urinary incontinence was 12%, the common types being urgency (33.3%), stress (22.9%), and mixed (20.8%). Age ≥60 years compared to 18–39 years (OR 3.66 95%CI 1.48–9.00 P = 0.005), and a history of chronic cough (OR 3.80 95% CI 1.36–10.58 P = 0.01) were associated with urinary incontinence. Women with education beyond the basic level were 72% less likely to experience urinary incontinence (OR 0.28 95%CI 0.08–0.96 P = 0.04). Urinary incontinence interferes with everyday life activities of most affected women. Non-fistulous urinary incontinence is relatively common among gynaecologic care seekers yet very few women were referred with such a diagnosis. Advocacy measures aimed at urging affected women to report the condition and educating the general population on potential causes, prevention and treatment are needed.

“…[13,27] Severity of the symptoms is one of the reasons identified in previous studies as why women seek out for medical attention, conversely in this study majority of the women who leaked urine did so about 8 times a week. [26,27] A higher proportion of the study participant reported symptoms of stress UI which is comparable to other studies, [6,19,27,28] however the study by Ojengbede et al reported a higher proportion (13.7%) of women with urge incontinence in the same environment. [19] Remarkably, mode of delivery and education were not causal factors of UI in this study, although it was observed that majority of those with UI had increased parity and vaginal delivery.…”

Objective: To determine the prevalence and risk factors of non-fistulous urinary incontinence (UI) among non-parturient women at University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study of 500 non-parturient women presenting with non- fistulous gynaecological symptoms at the University College Hospital, Ibadan. An interviewer administered questionnaire was used to obtain information. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate analysis to determine the risk factors of urinary incontinence. Results: Mean age was 36.61 (SD=10.1) years and almost all (83.2%) were married. Prevalence of urinary incontinence is 21.4%. Majority (40.6%) had symptoms of stress urinary incontinence and 8.0% had urge urinary incontinence. Only 19.6% of those who leaked urine in the last one month sought medical attention despite visiting the hospital for other ailment(s), while of those that had ever leaked urine, 13.1% of them ever sought medical attention. Risk factors for UI were age at first delivery (OR=21.21, 95%CI=2.179-206.478), marital status (OR=0.142, 95%CI=0.044-0.454), chronic illness (OR=3.987, 95%CI=2.147-7.405) and history of prolonged labour (OR=3.111, 95%CI=1.584-6.110). Conclusion: UI is not uncommon in Nigeria. The identified predisposing factors were low age at first delivery, history of prolonged labour and chronic illness. There is need to sensitize women of the symptoms and complications associated with urinary incontinence as well as its prevention and need to seek medical care if they have the symptoms.
