Prevalence of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Pregnant Women in Yazd, Iran: A Cross-Sectional Study
This study highlights the high prevalence of LUTS, especially nocturia and stress urinary incontinence, among pregnant women in Yazd. Advancing gestational age and higher BMI were associated with increased symptoms, while gestational diabetes was linked to greater voiding difficulties. These findings emphasize the importance of routine screening and early intervention to minimize the impact of LUTS on maternal quality of life.
