Abstract:

As an important medical and health problem, the economic loss caused by urinary incontinence has been widely concerned. In China, as many as 349 million adult women suffer from urinary incontinence, but few women take the initiative to seek medical treatment. The cognition of the disease, the severity of symptoms and demographic sociological factors are closely related to women′s intention to seek medical treatment. Evaluating the quality of life of urinary incontinence to promote women to seek medical treatment and improve their quality of life is an urgent problem to be solved. This article reviews the research on medical intention and quality of life of adult female urinary incontinence in recent years, to provide reference for medical work.

Key words: Urinary incontinence, Quality of life, Help-seeking behavior, Femininity, Intention to seek medical care
