Objectives: Urinary incontinence (UI) and anal incontinence (AI) cause concern, social exclusion, and ultimately reduced quality of life in women. The aim of present study was to assess the prevalence and related risk factors of UI, AI, and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods: The present study recruited 340 menopausal women living in Tabriz in northwest Iran. The data collection tools included the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 and a personal and social information questionnaire. POP was diagnosed via clinical examination using the simplified pelvic organ prolapse quantification system. Results: The prevalence of UI and POP was approximately 50%, and approximately 16% of participants reported AI. Based on the odds ratios, the most remarkable risk factor of urinary stress incontinence was the number of vaginal deliveries, whereas that of urinary urge incontinence was obesity. Episiotomy and age were the most major risk factors of AI and POP, respectively. Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that the prevalence of POP, UI, and AI is remarkably high among postmenopausal women, warranting the need to prioritize the assessment of POP and various incontinences in middle-aged women in the primary health care system. Furthermore, increased emphasis should be put on modifiable risk factors.

“…In the latter stages of perimenopause, vasomotor syndrome appears disturbing the subjective QoL and social status of women; furthermore, the reduced level of estrogen triggers the process that will lead to atrophy of the genitourinary system with implications for the QoL of women [10] such as urinary incontinence [11] and changes in sexual desire [12]. Sexual health often starts to become dysfunctional, usually following the onset of pains during intercourse.…”

“…Few studies have explicitly described the prevalence of nocturia in a peri-and postmenopausal population, with precise estimates varying widely based on study population characteristics and the specific diagnostic criteria employed for nocturia [13][14][15][16]. However, genitourinary symptoms attributed to the menopause (i.e., "genitourinary syndrome of menopause") have been reported to occur in nearly 90% of postmenopausal women, and nocturia is one of the most common symptoms in such patients [11].…”

Introduction and hypothesis Nocturia, defined as the act of waking to pass urine during sleeping, is a common problem in older women and is associated with significant morbidity and impairments in health-related quality of life. The aim of this review was to synthesize the current evidence regarding the incidence, impact, pathophysiology, and specific diagnostic approach of nocturia in the postmenopausal population. Methods We searched PubMed and Web of Science databases to identify relevant studies published through June 2020. Reference lists of the reviews obtained were screened for other articles deemed pertinent by the authors. Results Genitourinary symptoms attributed to the menopause have been reported to occur in nearly 90% of postmenopausal women, and nocturia is one of the most common. The relative deficiency in endogenous estrogen production after the menopause is thought to exacerbate all major pathophysiological mechanisms that may underlie nocturia, including reduced bladder capacity, nocturnal polyuria, global polyuria, and sleep disorders. Diminished estrogen may induce anatomical and physiological bladder changes, contributing to a reduction in functional bladder capacity. Excess nocturnal urine production can also be provoked by estrogen depletion, either via free water-predominant diuresis by an impaired secretion of antidiuretic hormone, or a salt-predominant diuresis owing to diminished activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis. Additionally, a relationship between the transition to menopause and impaired sleep has been described, mediated by increased incidence in vasomotor symptoms and obstructive sleep apnea signs during the menopause. Conclusion Further research is necessary to better characterize and manage nocturia in postmenopausal women.
