Abstract

The International Continence Society (ICS) defines Incontinence of urine as involuntary loss of urine. Objective: To determine the frequencies of different types of incontinence of urine and their impact on quality of life of Pakistani women. Method: Descriptive observational study was conducted at outpatient department of five centers. Three validated questionnaires were used for quality-of-life assessment, International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF), Medical Outcome Study 36 items Short Form (SF-36) and King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ). Result: The study included 436 women. The most frequent type of incontinence of urine was mixed (n=281, 64.45%) followed by stress incontinence (n=129, 29.59%) and urge incontinence (n=26, 5.96%). The women suffering from mixed type of incontinence of urine had maximum effect on quality of life both general and specific. Conclusions: All types of incontinence of urine had an effect on quality of life but the mixed type had more impact.
