The burden of urinary incontinence and its association with knowledge, practices, and comorbidities among women in Madinah, Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study

UI is a common condition among women in Madinah, strongly associated with a profile of demographic and clinical factors. The critical gap in specific UI knowledge and the prevalence of negative health-seeking behaviors highlight an urgent need for public health campaigns that address these specific deficits and routine, sensitive screening for high-risk groups to bridge the treatment gap.

Abstract

UI is a common condition among women in Madinah, strongly associated with a profile of demographic and clinical factors. The critical gap in specific UI knowledge and the prevalence of negative health-seeking behaviors highlight an urgent need for public health campaigns that address these specific deficits and routine, sensitive screening for high-risk groups to bridge the treatment gap.
