“…8,11,12 Different studies have found a significant relationship between a history of pelvic surgery and UI, which is consistent with the result of the current study. [9][10][11] The limitations of the present study were as follows: there was no validated instrument to detect prevalence rates of UI in Kurdish women, the prevalence of UI was not studied in one specific age group, and UI was not studied in relation to obesity. Further studies should be conducted to test these important correlations.…”

“…20 In the current study, there was a significant association between UI and DM, chronic cough, and constipation which is consistent with the results of other studies. 11 SUI is triggered by physical exertion, including coughing, sneezing, straining, or exercise. In women, a weakness in the pelvic floor muscles, due to vaginal childbirth, may cause a defect in the support of the internal sphincter, ultimately leading to SUI.…”

Objectives:The most common manifestation of pelvic floor dysfunction is urinary incontinence (UI) which affects 15-50% of adult women depending on the age and risk factors of the population studied. The aim of this study was to determine the probable risk factors associated with UI; the characteristics of women with UI; describe the types of UI, and determine its prevalence. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between February and August 2011, in the Maternity Teaching Hospital of the Erbil Governorate, Kurdistan Region, northern Iraq. It included 1,107 women who were accompanying patients admitted to the hospital. A questionnaire designed by the researchers was used for data collection. A chi-square test was used to test the significance of the association between UI and different risk factors. Binary logistic regression was used, considering UI as the dependent variable. Results: The overall prevalence of UI was 51.7%. The prevalence of stress, urgency, and mixed UI was 5.4%, 13.3% and 33%, respectively. There was a significant positive association between UI and menopause, multiparity, diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic cough, constipation, and a history of gynaecological surgery, while a significant negative association was detected between UI and a history of delivery by both vaginal delivery and Caesarean section. Conclusion: A high prevalence of UI was detected in the studied sample, and the most probable risk factors were multiparity, menopausal status, constipation, chronic cough, and DM.

INTRODUCTIONThe overactive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent disorder that impacts the lives of millions of people worldwide. Despite its high prevalence, many sufferers do not seek medical attention and are not aware that OAB is treatable.1 Micturation disorders are responsible for increased morbidity throughout the world. This morbidity ranges from worrisome symptoms to life-threatening renal failure. Disturbances in voiding may sign neurological, metabolic, inflammatory, or infectious diseases. Voiding dysfunction may also arise from injury, outlet obstruction, structure changes in the bladder and urethra or loss of their supporting structures with aging. 2Research on urinary storage problems has focused on incontinence in women, but during last years, other urinary storage problems (urgency, frequency, and nocturia) has commanded attention worldwide.3 The prevalence of OAB is variable ranging from 3% to 43%, depending on the population assessed and the definition used. 4 The prevalence of OAB increase with age because of neurological and musculoskeletal effects, degenerative ABSTRACT Background: The current study aims to estimate the prevalence of Overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI) among women attending Assiut Woman's Health Hospital. Additionally, to explore the impact of UI and OAB on The Quality of Life (QOL) of women. Methods: A population-based survey included participants aged 18 years and older selected from Assiut Woman's Health Hospital and received The Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Questionnaire (BFLUTSQ). OAB was defined in to two versions using the international continence society (ICS) definition of 2002 as either urgency sometimes or more alone (OAB1) or urgency sometimes or more with frequency more than eight times per day and /or nocturia once or more per night (OAB2). Incontinence and other LUTS were positive if answer scores ≥2 to BFLUTSQ question for incontinence and other LUTS. Results: The total prevalence of OAB was 39.0% (351 women). The prevalence of OAB dry and OAB wet was 26% (234 women) and 13% (117 women), respectively, which suggested that 66.7% suffer from OAB dry and 33.3% suffer from OAB wet. The prevalence of dry OAB is significantly higher than wet OAB. The overall prevalence of UI was 22.2% (201 women). The prevalence of stress UI, urge UI and mixed UI was 5.7%, 5.1% and 11.4%, respectively. Conclusions: OAB symptoms and UI are highly prevalent. Furthermore, both of them have severe effects on daily and sexual life as well as being related to psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
