女性尿失禁临床常见,但其发病情况各家报道不一,如英国报道发病率8.5％～53％。为了解女性尿失禁的真实发病情况,便于制定对策,通过微机对北爱尔兰4个区48829例35～74岁妇女中的1050例进行了问卷调查,总回复率65.6％(689/1050)。回复与不回复者的年龄、管区、社会阶层无差异。 国际外科学会(ICS)的尿失禁定义是:成为社会卫生问题且又可证实的不自主流尿。本组偶发尿失禁(每月≤1次)231例(33.5％),经常尿失禁(每月≥2次)161例(23.4％)。此392例中需用卫生护垫者85例(21.7％),占被调查妇女的12.3％,属严重病例,也最符合ICS尿失禁的定义。本组经产妇占85.3％(588例),尿失禁发生率为59％,明显高于未 Female urinary incontinence clinical common, but the incidence of various reports vary, such as the United Kingdom reported incidence of 8.5% to 53%. In order to understand the true incidence of female incontinence and to facilitate the development of countermeasures, 1050 out of 48,829 women aged 35-74 in four districts of Northern Ireland were surveyed by computer. The total response rate was 65.6% (689/1050). There is no difference between the age of reply and non-respondents, district and social class.

This group of Incident urinary incontinence (≤ 1 per month) in 231 cases (33.5%), frequent urinary incontinence (≥ 2 times per month) in 161 cases (23.4%). Of the 392 cases, 85 (21.7%) had panty liners, accounting for 12.3% of the women surveyed, which was a serious case and most consistent with the definition of incontinence in ICS. This group of women accounted for 85.3% (588 cases), the incidence of urinary incontinence was 59%, significantly higher than
