Evaluation of Diabetic Women in Terms of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, Overactive Bladder and Urinary Incontinence
Journal Title: Journal of Urological Surgery - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI) with age, diabetic complications and glycaemic control in diabetic women. Materials and Methods: A total of 81 women diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus were included in the study. Demographic characteristics including age, height and weight of patients, full medical history, urine culture, serum creatinine levels and glycaemic control parameters including serum fasting blood glucose levels, serum satiety blood glucose levels and serum HbA1c levels. Turkish version of the OAB-V8, urinary distress inventory-6 (UDI-6), incontinence impact questionnaire (IIQ-7) and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) were applied. Results: The mean age was 58.6±11.8 years. Thirty-five (43.2%) of the patients had diabetes-related complications. There was no statistically significant relationship between OAB-V8, UDI-6, IPSS, IIQ-7 questionnaire scores and glycaemic control parameters, age, and presence of diabetic complications. Conclusion: To better understand the etiopathogenesis of diabetic bladder dysfunction and related complications including LUTS, OAB and UI, we need randomized controlled studies with a greater number of patients.
