Abstract :
Background: Women’s urinary incontinence is a common clinical problem, and it may have serious negative effects on patients’ physical, social, and mental health.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted using electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, to identify relevant studies published from 2000 to 2022. The search was limited to English-language studies that examined the evaluation and diagnosis of urinary incontinence among adult Saudi women.
Results: The most common type of UI reported was urge incontinence, affecting 44.2% of participants. Of these, 15.4% experienced stress incontinence, 25.6% had urgency incontinence, and 10.15% had mixed incontinence [21]. Among the 379 participants, the median number of children born was 4, and 41.4% of adults had UI (95% CI: 36.6-46.5), with 36.4% reporting stress UI, 27.4% urgency UI, and 22.2% mixed UI. Additionally, 17% of women and 25% of men experienced urinary leakage at least once a day, with risk factors including age (P<0.001), having more than five children (P<0.001), menopause (P=0.004), and a history of gynecologic surgery, persistent cough, or constipation [22]. Notably, 85% of women with UI did not seek medical help, highlighting the unmet healthcare needs in this population. The severity of UI varied significantly by age group, marital status, and pregnancy history. Among Saudi women, 3.3% were diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and those with a family history of SUI had a 19.68-fold higher risk of developing SUI, which was statistically significant (P<0.001) [24]. Overall, these statistics emphasize the substantial burden of UI and its risk factors, underscoring the importance of addressing this condition within the studied populations.
Conclusion: Most of women felt desire, stress, urgency, and mixed incontinence. Age, number of children, menopause, and medical history were UI risk factors in many women. The research also revealed that UI disrupted people’s everyday life, with many not seeking medical care. UI severity varied by demographic group and marital status and reproductive history. Studies showed that Saudi women with a family history of stress urine incontinence were more likely to acquire it. OB issues put grand multiparous women at risk of stress UI. These findings emphasize the need of treating urine incontinence and its causes for better health and life.
