Lecture of obstetrics and gynecology faculity of medicine Suez Canal University
Abstract
Background: Women of all ages and races are affected by the widespread clinical disorder known as urinary incontinence (UI). In premenopausal women, urinary incontinence whatever its type, had a negative effect on the quality of life (QoL). Objective: The aim of the current study was to assess various forms of urine incontinence in premenopausal women and alterations in QoL for these women. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Suez Canal University Hospital's Gynecological Outpatient Clinic. A total of 345 premenopausal women complaining of urinary incontinence were recruited from June 2020 to July 2022. QoL was evaluated by an Arabic validated form of the Urogenital Distress Inventory and adapted incontinence impact questionnaires short forms IIQ-7 and UDI-6. Results:In the UDI-6, the irritative QoL domain was severely affected (44.32%) more than the stress domain (5.51%) (P<0.001) and with the obstructive domain (19.72%) (P<0.001).In IIQ-7, the travel domain was severely affected (27.53%) more than other four domains (P<0.001). No statistically significant association was present between UI type and the grade of QoL domain affected (P>0.05) except in the social domain (P<0.001) and in the travel domain (P=0.003). Conclusion: Although no statistically significant association between different subtypes of UI in premenopausal women, UI whatever its type, had a bad impact on QOL. Keywords:
