Prevalence and factors associated with urinary incontinence in the east area of health of Valladolid
Abstract
Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is the involuntary loss of urine that is a major social or hygienic problem and is objectively provable. It is a common symptom that appears in many diseases, affecting all age groups and both sexes. In Spain it is estimated a prevalence of 24% in women and 7% in men, increasing with age up to 50% and 29% respectively. Despite its impact on quality of life, it is under-diagnosed for various reasons.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of UI and its associated factors.
Material and method: In this retrospective longitudinal epidemiological study data were collected from the medical histories of patients with UI belonging to the Pelvic Floor Unit of the East Health Area in Valladolid.
Results: The most frequent types of incontinence were: effort (43,13%) and mixed (39,21%). The most important risk factors and associated diseases were episiotomy (57.1%) and cystocele (32.6%) in women and adenocarcinoma of prostate (60%) in men. Responses in the questionnaires of urinary incontinence (ICIQ-SF) improved after 2-3 months of rehabilitation treatment.
Conclusions: The collected data are consistent with studies reviewed, and seeing the progress in prevention and treatment of UI, multidisciplinary approach is coherent.
