Urban-Rural Comparison of Urinary Incontinence Impact in Women
Sponsor: Lokman Hekim University
Summary
This study will examine how urinary incontinence affects women's daily activities and quality of life in urban and rural areas. Urinary incontinence means unintentional urine leakage. It may affect activities such as exercise, household tasks, social participation, travel, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Women aged 18 to 65 years who have experienced urinary incontinence during the past 3 months may be eligible to participate. Participants will complete questionnaires about their health, urinary symptoms, severity of urine leakage, daily activities, and quality of life. The assessment is expected to take approximately 20 minutes. This is an observational study. No medication, exercise program, medical procedure, or other treatment will be provided. The study will compare questionnaire results between women living in urban and rural areas. The findings may help improve understanding of how living environment and personal factors are associated with the impact of urinary incontinence.
