Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common health problem and negatively affects the quality of life of women who are afflicted. The aim of the study is to explore the prevalence and risk factors of UI among climacteric Turkish women and to examine the effects of UI on their quality of life. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 258 women aged 40-64 years who visited the outpatient clinic in Ankara, Turkey, between 15 June 2012 and 15 January 2013. The data were collected using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form and the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire. This paper reveals that the overall prevalence of UI was 45.3%. Stress UI, mixed UI, and urge UI were reported by 54.7%, 22.2%, and 10.3% of the subjects, respectively. The proportion of women suffering from UI who seek medical treatment was low despite mild or moderate negative effect impacts on their quality of life. Increasing women's awareness of UI and protective measures is essential, and standard UI assessment should be added to all patient examinations.

“…Each item can be rated on a ve-point scale where 1 = extremely, 2 = quite a bit, 3 = moderately, 4 = a little, and 5 = not at all. The total I-QOL score and three domain scores are calculated by summing the unweighted item scores and transforming them into a 100-point scale where 0 = no problem, and 100 = most severe (Nojomi et al, 2009).…”

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a significant social problem. The latest figures show that it affects as many as 17%–60% of the female population, and it is one of the most common chronic diseases. Incontinence substantially decreases the quality of patients’ lives. The transobturator tape (TOT) procedure is the gold standard in surgical treatment due to its high effectiveness and a small percentage of complications. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QoL) of patients with stress incontinence before and after the TOT procedure.Method: The study involved 57 patients diagnosed with stress incontinence on the basis of an ultrasound scan and an interview. The QoL before and after surgery was measured using the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and the Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) standardized questionnaires. Results: The IIQ-7 results for each question were higher (signifying worse) before surgery than after it. The results for almost all domains were statistically significant. The I-QOL results also showed that, in most cases, the quality of patients’ lives improved after surgery. Statistically significant changes were observed in all three questionnaire domains of avoidance/limiting behavior, psychosocial impact, and social embarrassment.Conclusion: Surgical treatment of stress incontinence using the TOT procedure causes bothersome symptoms to subside in the majority of patients, leading to an improvement in their living comfort.
