“…UI before and during pregnancy was associated with postpartum stress UI. [ 25 ] Our study has shown that chronic cough, chronic constipation, and repeated UTI are associated with UI. Accordingly, women and their carers should be educated about the associated factors during their pregnancy.…”

Urinary incontinence (UI), which affects the quality of life, is associated with different risk factors during pregnancy. We aimed to study the risk factors related to UI during pregnancy among nulliparous women in the UAE. This is a prospective descriptive survey, which included all nulliparous women after the first 24 weeks’ gestation from 2012 to 2014 in a teaching hospital in the UAE. Participants were interviewed face-to-face, using a structured and pre-tested questionnaire and divided into 2 groups: those with UI and those without it. Factors which were statistically significant (P < .05) between the 2 groups were entered into an logistic regression backward logistic regression model to define the factors predicting UI. Five hundred one participants were interviewed. UI occurred in 106/501 (21.2%). The 2-sample comparison analysis showed that urinary tract infection (UTI) (47.2% vs 34.4%, P = .018) and its number of attacks (P = .007), chronic cough (28.3% vs 13.9%, P < .001) and chronic constipation (34.9% vs 19%, P < .001) were statistically significant between those who had UI and those who did not. The logistic regression backward logistic regression model showed that the risk factors which predicted UI were chronic constipation (P = .003), chronic cough (P = .008), and the number of UTI attacks (P = .036). UI affects one-fifth of nulliparous women in the UAE. Chronic cough, constipation, and repeated UTI infection, significantly increase the odds of UI during pregnancy. Addressing these risk factors may reduce the risk of UI.

“…A history of episiotomy, breastfeeding, and the presence of dyspareunia during pregnancy (adjusted prevalence ratio PR 2.1) were all factors linked to dyspareunia after delivery. A woman's prior experiences with SUI before childbirth (PR 2.4) and during gestation (PR 2.0), as well as having a vaginal birth, were related to SUI after delivery (PR 2.0) 9 .…”

Background: Incontinence of urine (UI) is a type of lower urinary tract dysfunction that can occur when the natural urination process is disrupted. During pregnancy, incontinence, particularly stress UI, is a common issue. Aim: To identifying the prevalence, factors associated, and the effects of UI throughout pregnancy on health-related QoL. Methods: A cross - sectional descriptive research was carried out. 220 pregnant women who were attending an outpatient clinic at one of the hospitals in Multan were included in the study. As a means of measuring the results, the ICIQ—International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire—was utilized. The Questionnaire was distributed among pregnant women, and researcher filled the questionnaire by asking questions to them according to their response. Results: UI was present in 48(21.81%) of the study population. According to a frequency distribution analysis of urine incontinence in females, those b/w 29& 28 years of age, who have a B.M.I of range 18. 5 to 24.9 kg/m2 exhibit the most severe incontinence. Chi square test showed that p value is below 0.05 and study concluded that there is a statistically significant association between urinary incontinence and gravida, as well as between urinary incontinence and trimester.Understanding the prevalence of this condition can help healthcare providers to identify the risk factors associated with urinary incontinence in pregnant women and develop targeted interventions to prevent or manage the condition. Conclusion: UI occurs frequently in expectant mothers.Study concluded that there is a statistically significant association between urinary incontinence and gravida, as well as between urinary incontinence and trimester, among pregnant women in Multan CityA higher risk of UI throughout pregnancy was linked to age, the week of gestation & parity.

“…The factors behind UI in pregnancy are not fully understood, but anatomical changes in the pelvic floor, the weight of the pregnant uterus and hormonal issues have been suggested [11] . Pre-pregnancy obesity [12] and maternal age increase the risk of UI [13] . The prevalence of UI decreases after birth to around 30% three months postpartum [14] .…”
