Journal Title: Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Urinary incontinence is a problem that creates both physical and psychological nuisance to a woman. This problem needs to be studied in detail in Indian population because of lack of precise data. The present study looked at the types of complications of these practices which present to a large metropolitan women's hospital in order to determine how we can appropriately treat and support affected women. The objective is to find out the prevalence of urinary incontinence in multigravida females. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken interviewing 100 multigravidas who attended Gynaecology and obstetrics department of Hakeem Abdul Hameed Centenary Hospital, New Delhi. All the multigravida were screened and those who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were taken as subject in the study. Result: The Mean stress score of all the patients was 12.13±6.5 with a minimum stress score of 1 and maximum of 26. Similarly, the mean urge score of all the patients was 8.33±6.23. The minimum urge score was 0 whereas maximum urge score was 26. Discussion: Results showed that the prevalence of stress incontinence was highest (49%) in the selected sample (N=100). The stress incontinence was highest in age group of 41-45 years whereas the incidence of urge incontinence was highest in 31 to 35 years as well as 36-40 years. Conclusion: The findings will help increase the awareness of health care workers involved in the care of multigravida women about urinary incontinence and aid the design of more intensive education programmes. Knowing about prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence is very important, so that necessary steps in its prevention, it’s awareness and treatment can be taken.
