The purpose of this study was to better understand the subjective bothersomeness of stress urinary incontinence symptoms and their impact on the quality of life of community-dwelling women.
We conducted a mail survey of 605 women in the United States who reported symptoms of stress urinary incontinence.
More than three fourths of the respondents reported their symptoms to be bothersome, with approximately 29% reporting their symptoms to be moderately to extremely bothersome. The odds of moderate-to-extreme bother decreased with age and increased with symptom severity. Concerns about social embarrassment were evident.
Stress urinary incontinence symptoms can impose a significant burden on the women who have them. The results reinforce the need for health care professionals to be proactive in questioning and educating patients about this common lower urinary tract symptom.
本研究的目的是更好地了解压力性尿失禁症状的主观困扰程度及其对社区居住女性生活质量的影响。
我们对美国605名报告有压力性尿失禁症状的女性进行了邮件调查。
超过四分之三的受访者表示她们的症状令人困扰，约29%的受访者表示症状为中度至极度困扰。中度至极度困扰的几率随年龄增长而降低，随症状严重程度增加而升高。对社交尴尬的担忧很明显。
压力性尿失禁症状会给患有该症状的女性带来重大负担。这些结果强化了医疗保健专业人员积极询问和教育患者了解这种常见下尿路症状的必要性。
