“…Prior studies have noted that depression approximately double the odds of ED [37][38][39] and depression is certainly known to be linked with incontinence [40,41] but the directionality of the association of urologic and sexual symptoms with depression has not been explored in those analyses. Until we have more information about this relationship, we cannot simply assume that depression has arisen because urologic symptoms are present.…”

“…A detailed analysis of the occurrence of UI in various age brackets indicates that it affects 25% of women under 18, 18% under 29, and 37% between 35 and 54, whereas 39% of women with UI are over 55 years old (Bø, 2004).

It would appear that the actual frequency of these dysfunctions in girls and young women may be much higher.…”

“…1 In addition to its direct costs, incontinence is associated with falls, fractures, increased caregiver burden, and increased nursing-home care, making the actual costs likely much higher. [2][3][4][5] Many women with incontinence fail to receive appropriate treatment, both because primary care providers do not routinely ask about incontinence and because patients do not volunteer the information. [6][7][8] Women reporting incontinence tend to be referred to specialists prior to being offered treatment, 9,10 a model that increases the cost of care delivery and delays therapy.…”
