Description
Urinary Incontinence (UI) refers to involuntary urine leakage that interferes with social activities and can cause hygienic issues. It is the most underreported condition in clinical settings due to feelings of shame, hesitancy, and discomfort. It affects both men and women, however women are more afflicted than men due to differences in urethral architecture between the two genders. Due to a lack of awareness, most people assume this disease to be normal. Although UI is not uncomfortable, it has an impact on one's QOL. UI has a prevalence of up to 70%. There are surprisingly very few community-based research available regarding the prevalence of UI and its impact on women’s QOL.Several variables, including age, gender, menopause, history of vaginal birth, smoking, alcohol use, toileting habits, constipation, nicotine use, and obesity, contribute to UI. Globally, the main cause of UI is pregnancy; however, the cause of UI in young healthy females is due to high intake of nicotine, smoking, alcohol, and body mass index (BMI) >30. Pelvic floor muscles like levator ani group and coccygeus provides support to the bladder , bowel and uterus. These muscles are responsible for urination and also firmly wraps the urethera and prevent leakage.
