Introduction: Urinary incontinence is a common health problem in women
population. In this study, we evaluated the urinary incontinance risk factors
and its effect on the quality of life of
the postmenuposal women applying to Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Education and
Training Hospital Urogynecology outpatient clinic with urinary incontinance.
Materials
and Method: Our study is
cross-sectional and retrospective study which included 139 postmenuposal patients who applied to the
outpatient urogynocology clinic with the complaints of urinary incontinance between January
2003-April 2013. We performed UDI-6 and
7 questioned IIQ-7 life quality quessionare form to the patients who were included in the
study.
Results
: The mean age of 139
postmenopausal women with urinary incontinance was 57.19 ± 9. Body
mass index increase (p> 0.05), duration of menopause (p> 0.05),
the number of nocturia (p> 0.05) and
night-time wetting (p <0.005), making birth (p> 0.05), abortion (p>
0.05), hypertension (p <0.05) as well
as some chronic diseases, medication use (p <0.05) did not cause a change in
the quality of life in postmenopausal
women with urinary incontinance. We found that the quality of life was
significantly affected in the group with sudden urgency when compared with the
group of patients who did not have urgency complaint (p<0,005).
Conclusion: Quality of life deteriorates, especially psychosocial health, in
patients with urinary incontinence. Regardless of the severity of the urinary
incontinence that is shown objectively, the quality of life is negatively affected.
