| الملخص: | Urinary incontinence (UI) is a condition that affects patients of all ages, starting
with childhood. There are two peaks in its incidence, i.e., in childhood and another one in patients
over 40 years of age, which increases continuously with patient age. It is a condition recognized by the
World Health Organization as a set of diseases (International Classification of Diseases, ICD-10),
and the International Classification of Functionality recognizes the associated extreme disablement.
UI is a major health problem affecting the lives of an estimated 400 million persons worldwide. The
global aging of the population will cause rise in the incidence of UI in the future. It is expected that
UI itself will become a serious health and social burden for both patients and health service providers.
UI can be an isolated problem, or it can be associated and/or aggravated by any associated disorder
affecting the nervous system such as myelomeningoceles, Parkinson’s disease or stroke. UI often affects
the patient daily life, and it can have repercussions on their physical, financial, social, and emotional
well-being. At last, it has a negative influence on their sexual health. |
