This study aimed to investigate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in Turkish adult women and to compare toileting behaviors in women with and without LUTS. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 815 women. The International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Female LUTS and a toileting behaviors form, created by the authors, were used in evaluations. Nearly 50 % of the women had at least one LUTS, 45.8 % had storage symptoms, 7.4 % had voiding symptoms, and 20.2 % had incontinence symptoms. The rates of premature urination, straining during urination, delayed urination, and sitting on the toilet while urinating were higher in women with LUTS than in women without LUTS (p < .05). The rate of squatting on the toilet while urinating was lower in women with LUTS than those without LUTS (p < .05). Various LUTS were common in adult women. Some toileting behaviors such as premature urination, straining during urination, delayed urination, and sitting on the toilet while urinating were higher in women with LUTS compared to women without LUTS. Since the rate of unhealthy toilet behaviors is higher in women with LUTS, it is important to know unhealthy toilet behaviors in the management of LUTS and to organize training programs to prevent these behaviors and LUTS.

BackgroundThe precise manner in which morphological properties of pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) and diaphragm muscle in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients with Urinary Incontinence (UI) are affected remains unclear.AimThis study aimed to compare the ultrasound measurements of PFMs and diaphragm muscle in COPD patients with and without UI.MethodsThirty COPD patients with UI [UI group, age: 61.00 (42.00-70.00) years, body mass index: 27.86 (20.20-54.69) kg/m2] and thirty COPD patients without UI [N-UI group, age: 64.00 (47.00-70.00) years, body mass index: 27.11 (20.30-35.94) kg/m2] were included. The PFMs contaction assessment and diaphragm muscle morphological properties were evaluated using the Logiq S7/Expert ultrasound device. The percentage of change in thickness of diaphragm muscle, known as the diaphragm thickening fraction index (DTFI), was also calculated.ResultsIt was found that the PFMs contraction (p = 0.018) and DTFI (p = 0.016) values were significantly lower in the UI group compared to the N-UI group. No significant differences were observed in the diaphragm thickness score during the inspiration (p = 0.973) and expiration (p = 0.233) between the groups.ConclusionsPatients with COPD and UI exhibited diminished the PFMs contaction severity and DTFI compared to those with COPD but no UI. It should be considered that UI comorbidity in COPD may negatively affect PFMs contaction severity and diaphragm muscle morphological properties.
