Urinary Incontinence after Vaginal Delivery

Abstract

Background: The urinary incontinence is designated as the any slight spontaneous urine drip illness. Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common complaint in most of the females after delivery rather it was vaginal or c section delivery. Epidemiological researches show that there are many factors involve which cause the urinary incontinence all over gestation and after delivery. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted by Non probability convenient sampling technique. The study data was collected from Shadra Teaching Hospital Lahore.Sample size of 186 was calculated. Standardize QUID and SRUI are used for data collection. Prevalence of UI was measured, data was gathered and SPSS was used to analyze the results. Results: Prevalence of UI was measured, data was gathered and SPSS was used to analyze the results .Results showed that the 54.3% were felt no and mild UI 31.7% showed moderate UI and 14% responds severe UI in our study .Age, Weight and Constipation were associative variables in our study .The prevalence of mild and moderately UI are observed and associated with risk factors. UI symptoms can vary with age and weight. Pelvic floor muscle training can prevent the risk of UI. Conclusion: Our study concluded that the prevalence of urinary incontinence after vaginal delivery was high like 45% in overall assessed females and stress incontinence is seen in most of the females. Body weight and constipation backed as major risk influences as we seen in our study. Consequently, assessment of urinary incontinence results and risk factors given that consultancy services may potentially help avoidance and management of these complaints. The consequences of our study may be beneficial to intensification responsiveness in females in the post-delivery tenure, by providing health training and consultancy services about urinary incontinence protection and the reduction of risk factors. Key Words: Urinary incontinence, Pelvic floor muscle training, QUID and SRUI
