Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To find out the prevalence of various urological symptoms in pregnant women, the status before pregnancy, and their perceived impact. METHODS: A questionnaire incorporating various urological problems was prepared and used over 240 pregnant women to know their prevalence in different trimesters of pregnancy and compare them with prevalence before pregnancy. RESULTS: Increased urinary frequency (>10/day) (40.8 vs. 3.8%), nocturia (72.9 vs. 50.6%), burning micturition (21.3 vs. 3.8%), UTI (4.6 vs. 1.6%), urinary hesitancy (14.6 vs. 1.6%), urinary incontinence (25.8 vs. 8.2%) and botheration (22.1 vs. 2.7%) were seen during and before pregnancy, respectively. These also show an increment with advancement of gestation. Urinary incontinence was seen more often with advancing age and parity. CONCLUSION: There is a very high prevalence of urological symptoms during pregnancy as compared to before pregnancy.
