Prevalence and Impact of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms among Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study
Voiding dysfunction is highly prevalent among women with rheumatoid arthritis and significantly affects quality of life. Despite moderate to severe symptoms, many patients do not seek medical help. Routine screening and increased awareness are recommended to improve management and outcomes for this population. Further research is needed to explore regional differences and incorporate objective diagnostic tools.
