Urinary Incontinence, a medical, psychological, social,
economic, and hygienic problem, is defined as a condition of loss of the
bladder to control that can lead to mild or severe form of involuntary leakage of urine. Involuntary urine leakage or urinary incontinence is frequent among elderly women, adult women, even among adolescent women.
III. Complications
1. Dermatitis
Urinary incontinence are associated with with increased risk of
dermatitis. Dr. Beldon P. at the Epsom & St Helier University
Hospitals NHS, indicated that Older people's skin is subject to dehydration internally and environmental factors externally. If, in addition, the individual suffers continence problems, he or she is at risk of painful incontinence-associated dermatitis, or even formation of a moisture lesion(15).
2. Urinary tract infections. Risk of urinary tract infections
with untreated urinary incontinence. In the study of Twenty-nine
percent complained of daytime urinary incontinence and 34% of nighttime urinary incontinence. Urinary
tract infection was present in 11% and was more commonly present in
girls than in boys (33% vs 3%). Vesicoureteral reflux was present in
four and megacystis in four of the 25 children who had a voiding
cystourethrogram because of urinary tract infection(16).
3. Impaired quality of life
Urinary Incontinence can interfere with patient's quality of life. In the study of quality of life in women with urinary incontinence
is impaired and comparable to women with chronic diseases, Scientists
at the The Chinese University of Hong Kong showed that women with urinary incontinence had impaired quality of life and it was comparable to other chronic medical diseases. Women with detrusor overactivity have more impaired quality of life than women with urodynamic stress incontinence. Severity of urodynamic stress incontinence did not correlate with quality of life. Women who opted for continence surgery had poorer quality of life(17).
Other study indicated that women in mixed, USI and IDO categories had
significantly worse QoL scores in the domain Severity Measures than
women in sensory or normal categories (P < 0.0001). Incontinence
Impact was significantly worse in mixed and IDO categories compared
with normal (P = 0.006) but not compared with women with USI.
Sleep/Energy scores were significantly worse for women in mixed and IDO
categories compared with women with USI (P = 0.003)(18).
