Abstract:
Urinary incontinence is a major cause of morbidity and invalidism which
influences the quality of life and affects women of all ages. Therefore, this
represents a social or hygiene problem and can be objectively demonstrated. In
this context, urinary incontinence can be considered a public health problem, as it
causes a significant decrease in the quality of life and affects the patient’s life
socially, psychologically, occupationally, physically and sexually. The study addressed
these women’s quality of life, so that the result of the analysis would be an
optimal collaboration with the patients in order to find the best possible diagnosis
and treatment methods. As it is not a life-threatening condition, but rather a
personal and social hygiene problem, the necessity of a treatment was perceived
differently depending not only on the level of education, but on the degree of
social and professional integration, too.
