“…In addition, for women with a family history, the possibility of LUTS during pregnancy and the possibility of an increase in related complaints further increase . Aydın et al did not find any relationship between the mothers of adult pregnant women or their sisters in terms of UI . In our study, however, we found that the scores of students whose families have complaints of UI are quite higher than those of students whose families do not have such complaints.…”

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.

“…The statistical difference between the presence of SUI and UI in the mother was found to be significant in study conducted on women in the climacteric period 28 . The mean total score of BFLUTS-SF of those with a mother or a sister with UI was found to be significantly higher than those without a mother or sister with UI in a study conducted on adolescent pregnant women 30 . Our result supports the results of the above study 28,30 .…”

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of LUTS in women and the influencing risk factors. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 377 women who presented to the internal medicine outpatient departments of a training and research hospital for examination. The data were collected with a questionnaire form and the "Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms-Short Form (BFLUTS-SF)". Results: The prevalence of at least one LUTS in women was 92.3%. A statistically significant relationship was found between the menopausal status, chronic cough, stress urinary incontinence (SUI) presence in the mother or sister, the presence of a large baby and SUI in a previous pregnancy, and the BFLUTS-SF total scores. Conclusion:We found that storage-related symptoms were most common in these women, and LUTS affected the sexual life and quality of life negatively. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the sensitivity of health professionals to this issue, and to raise the awareness of women about the risk factors, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of LUTS with future training. Amaç: Bu araştırma, kadınlarda alt üriner sistem semptomları (LUTS)'nın prevalansını ve bunu etkileyen risk faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte olan bu çalışma, bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinin dahiliye polikliniklerine muayene olmak amacıyla gelen 377 kadınla yapılmıştır. Veriler, bir anket formu ve "Bristol Kadın Alt Üriner Sistem Semptomları-Kısa Form (BKAÜSS-KF)" ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Kadınlarda en az bir LUTS'un görülme prevalansı %92.3'dır. Menopozal durum, kronik öksürük, anne veya kız kardeşte stres üriner inkontinans (SUİ) olma durumu, iri bebek doğumu ve önceki gebeliğinde SUİ varlığı ile BKAÜSS-KF toplam puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır . Sonuç: Kadınlarda en fazla depolamayla ilgili semptomların görüldüğü, LUTS'un seksüel hayatı ve yaşam kalitesini olumsuz yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Bu nedenle yapılacak olan eğitimlerle sağlık profesyonellerinin bu konudaki duyarlılıklarının artırılması ve kadınların LUTS'un risk faktörleri, önlenmesi, tanı ve tedavisi hakkında bilinçlendirilmesi gerekmektedir.
