Risk Factors for Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Urinary incontinence incurs serious medical, social, psychological, and economical implications, adversely affecting quality of life. Many women with SUI do not seek care for their condition as they are embarrassed to speak with a health care provider about their condition or fear that treatment will require surgery. The problem of urinary incontinence is more pronounced in India, as women usually do not seek treatment for their reproductive health problems and do not vocalize their symptoms. There is a culture of silence and low consultation rate among Indian women regarding such problems Hence, present review is undertaken to identify potential risk factors so that efforts can be made to alter these risk factors and thus can reduce the prevalence of SUI among women.
