Care-seeking behaviors and risk factors in women with postpartum urinary incontinence
This study identified a high prevalence of Saudi women who did not seek care for PPUI, with a positive correlation between seeking care and symptom severity. Additionally, a lack of accurate knowledge about PPUI and its risk factors was observed even among highly educated women, indicating a gap in health education and awareness.
