BACKGROUND: @entity322 is the inability of a @entity1 to maintain bladder control. Symptoms range from urgency, frequency, @entity2183 to urge @entity322 (1). It limits functional and social activities and leads to @entity308 and social withdrawal. (2). This observational study aimed to describe the common urinary problems amongst gynecological consultations. It also describes the relationship of @entity322 with history of @entity6 , previous gynecological surgery and prolapse. METHODS: The study was conducted as a descriptive cross sectional study from Jan-May 2015 at Qassim University Clinic, Buraidah. @entity1 with urinary problem and those without urinary problems were compared for risk factors including @entity6 , prolapse and previous gynecological surgery. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 22 (SPSS 22) was used to conduct proportion z-tests to determine the association of prolapse, gynecological surgeries and @entity6 with @entity322 . To test the hypothesis, differences between two groups on the aforementioned factors were examined. The groups included @entity1 that reported having urinary problems (n = 111) and those who do not have urinary problems (n = 100). RESULTS: The most frequent complaints of @entity1 with urinary problems were urgency (n = 66, 59.46%), @entity3142 ( @entity3142 ) (n = 65, 58.56%) and frequency (n = 62, 55.86%). For @entity1 with a urinary problem, 89.19% have not had a gynecological surgery (n = 99) and the remaining 10.81% of @entity1 had a gynecological surgery (n = 12). For @entity1 without a urinary problem, 97.0% have not had a gynecological surgery (n = 97) and the remaining 3.0% had a gynecological surgery (n = 3). For @entity1 with a urinary problem, 72.97% did not have @entity6 (n = 81) and the remaining 27.03% of @entity1 did have @entity6 (n = 30). For @entity1 without a urinary problem, 92.0% did not have @entity6 (n = 92) and the remaining 8.0% did report having @entity6 (n = 8). For @entity1 with a urinary problem, 91.89% had not experienced a prolapse (n = 102) and the remaining 8.11% of @entity1 had experienced a prolapse (n = 9). For @entity1 without a urinary problem, 98.0% have not experienced a prolapse (n = 98) and the remaining two @entity1 had experienced a prolapse. CONCLUSION: Gynecological conditions such as prolapse of the uterus, surgery involving the pelvic floor as well as medical conditions such as @entity6 are some of the key risk factors for @entity322 . Therefore control of these risk factors can avoid development of @entity322 . Bladder retraining, Kegel exercises, drinking of less fluids are some of the preventive measures to avoid development of this embarrassing condition.
