“…In another study by Karmarkar et al, the urethral sphincter was smaller and the bladder neck position was lower in parous women than in nulliparous ones. However, these differences were not progressive with increasing parity [ 42 ]. Vaginal delivery is associated with the risk of damage to pelvic floor muscles, nerves, and connective tissue [ 43 ].…”

Background Urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the most common symptoms during menopause, leading to a decreased quality of life and limited social activities. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of urinary incontinence and associated risk factors in postmenopausal women. Methods It was a cross-sectional study using cluster sampling on 433 postmenopausal women in Tabriz-Iran, 2021–2022. Data were collected using questionnaires of socio-demographic characteristics, Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UISF). Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine factors related to urinary incontinence. Results The overall prevalence of urinary incontinence was 39.5%; 20.6% stress urinary incontinence (SUI), 10.4% urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), and 8.5% mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the prevalence of SUI (aOR 0.38; 95% CI 0.18–0.77) and UUI (aOR 0.38; 95% CI 0.15–0.94) was significantly lower in women with three childbirths than the ones with fewer childbirths. Also, the odds of UUI increased significantly in women at the 50–55 age range (aOR 3.88; 95% CI 1.16–12.93) than those less than 50 years. Conclusion Due to the high prevalence of urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women, caregivers should screen for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of urinary incontinence to prevent its destructive impact on the quality of life.

“…However, limitations exist, notably the potential for underreporting due to embarrassment among some participants. This reluctance to disclose symptoms may underestimate UI prevalence, impacting data accuracy and completeness (Karmarkar et al, 2022;Larsudd-Kåverud et al, 2023). Addressing these limitations is pivotal for a more accurate understanding of UI prevalence (Abrar et al, 2023).…”

Urinary incontinence (UI) stands as a prevalent and multifaceted health concern affecting a substantial population of women globally. The basic aim of the study is to find the prevalence, severity and associated factors of urinary incontinence in women in rural Pakistan. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Catchment areas of Rural Health Centres Kangra and Kot Najibullah, District Haripur, Pakistan, from 1st November 2022 to 31st November 2023. Data was collected from 3064 women by using a random sampling technique. Detailed information was retrieved, encompassing demographics (such as age, gender distribution, and menopausal status), medical history (including comorbidities), lifestyle factors (like smoking status and body mass index), and specific UI-related data (including severity, frequency, and associated factors). Data were collected from 3064 female patients suffering from UI. Age, considered as a significant factor, shows a notable increase in UI occurrence with advancing age: 15.7% in the 18-39 age group, 21.3% among those aged 40-59, and a higher prevalence of 32.1% in women aged 60 and above. It is concluded that this study provides significant insights into the prevalence and sociodemographic associations of urinary incontinence (UI) among local women in Pakistan. The findings highlight the complex nature of UI, explaining its varying prevalence across different age groups, educational levels, marital ages, and parity statuses.
