Objectives Our study aims to determine the symptoms and frequency of lower urinary tract in female university students and its related factors. Methods This cross‐sectional study was conducted between January and June 2017. To determine their sociodemographic characteristics and toilet habits, the Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms questionnaire, a 21‐item questionnaire, was applied to female university students accepting to participate in the study using the face‐to‐face interview method. Results The study was completed with 1091 individuals. The mean age of the participants was 20.27±1.69 years. The question “Do you feel a sudden urination sensation and run to the toilet?” was answered by 1.1% (n: 12) of the participants with “Always,” while 34.8% (n: 380) replied “Never.” In terms of feeling a sudden urination sensation, 0.5% (n: 6) of the participants stated that they “always” experience micturition, while 15.0% (n: 164) answered with “Seldom.” The complaint of being unable to empty their bladder completely while urinating was higher in students with constipation problems (P .04) and a body mass index (BMI) > 24.9 (P .02). Conclusions Lower urinary tract complaints are a common problem. We believe that routine medical screening should be performed for female university students whose living conditions change when they start university; besides, we suggest that well‐attended and repeatable training programs for healthy living behaviors, urinary habits, and hygiene should be organized for university students.

Kadın sağlığı, yeni nesillerin sağlıklı yetiştirilmesinde ve dolayısıyla toplum sağlığının sürdürülmesinde önemli bir role sahiptir. Bu önemli rolün devamlılığını sağlamak kadınların yaşam sürelerinin yanında yaşam kalitelerini de arttırmaktadır. Kadınların yaşam kalitelerini olumsuz yönde etkileyen önemli sağlık sorunlarından biri ise alt üriner sistem semptomlarıdır. Gebelik, doğum gibi kadına özgü fizyolojik süreçlerle birlikte yapısal ve işlevsel özellikleriyle de ilişkili olarak alt üriner sisteme özgü semptomlar günümüzde kadınların yaşam kalitelerini olumsuz yönde etkileyen önemli sağlık sorunlarındandır. Aynı zamanda çoğu kadın bu semptomları sorun olarak görmemekte, bu nedenle gerekli bakım ve tedaviyi alamamaktadır. Hemşirelerin kadınlar tarafından ifade edilmese bile bu sağlık sorunlarını özenle ele almaları ve bu alandaki rol ve sorumluluklarının bilincinde olmaları gerekmektedir. Bu derlemede kadına özgü alt üriner sistem semptomları ve bu konuda kadın sağlığı hemşiresinin rollerinin ele alınması amaçlanmıştır.

Mobile WebpISSN 2093-4777 eISSN 2093-6931 INTERNATIONAL NEUROUROLOGY JOURNALPurpose: This study aimed to investigate potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of overactive bladder (OAB). Methods: A total of 219 subjects were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: OAB subjects (n = 189) and controls without OAB symptoms (n = 30). Three-day voiding diaries and questionnaires were collected, and urinary levels of nerve growth factor (NGF), prostaglandin E2, and adenosine triphosphate were measured and normalized to urine creatinine (Cr). Baseline characteristics and urinary levels of markers were analyzed. A receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic performance of urinary markers. Urinary levels of markers according to subgroup and pathogenesis of OAB were evaluated. Correlation analyses were used to analyze the relationship between urinary levels of markers and voiding diary parameters and questionnaires. Results: There was no difference between the 2 groups with regards to age, sex ratio, or urine Cr (P > 0.05). The urinary levels of NGF/Cr were higher in OAB subjects than in controls (P < 0.001). Urinary NGF/Cr was a sensitive biomarker for discriminating OAB patients (area under the curve = 0.741; 95% confidence interval, 0.62-0.79; P = 0.001) in the ROC curve. The urinary levels of NGF/Cr were significantly higher in OAB subjects than in controls regardless of subgroup or pathogenesis. Correlation analysis demonstrated urinary urgency was significantly related to urinary NGF/Cr level (correlation coefficient, 0.156). Limitations include a relatively wide variation of urinary markers. Conclusions: Urinary NGF is a potential biomarker that could serve as a basis for adjunct diagnosis of OAB.Keywords: Urinary Bladder, Overactive; Biomarkers; Diagnosis • HIGHLIGHTS -Urinary NGF/Cr was a sensitive biomarker for discriminating OAB patients.-The urinary levels of NGF/Cr were significantly higher in OAB subjects than in controls regardless of subgroup or pathogenesis.-Urinary urgency was significantly related to urinary NGF/Cr level.
