Abstract
Background: Urinary Incontinence (UI) is a socially embarrassing condition which decreases the quality of life. Stress urinary incontinence has shown to lead to withdrawal from participation in high-impact activities. It may be considered a barrier for lifelong athletics participation in women. Objective: The purpose of this study is to find out the incidence of urinary incontinence in female athletes and assess a possible correlation between the type, duration, and intensity of sport to that of urinary incontinence. Methods: A total sample size of 300 female athletes/sportswomen participating in various sports at recreational, competitive and elite levels selected from various universities and sports centers with age ranging from 18-30 years were screened for UI. Outcome Measures: The data was analyzed in terms of Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), Revised Urinary Incontinence Scale (RUIS) for screening UI in female athletes, and King芒�?�?s Health Questionnaire (KHQ) for quality of life. Results: Overall, 16 female athletes reported (5.33%) of urine loss while participating in their sport/training. Track and field events had highest incidence of 9.38 %. Highest incidence was seen in elite 11.76% and competitive athletes 8.70%. QUID, RUIS and KHQ scores were correlated and showed statistically significant with p value of p=0.0001, respectively. Conclusion: UI in young nulliparous female athletes is 5.33% when screened in common Indian based sports.Biography
