Assessment by Women on Selected Aspects of Quality of Life and on Disease Acceptance after Undergoing Urogynecological Procedures for Urinary Incontinence.

Urinary incontinence is a common social and health problem that affects both men and women. Women, however, are twice as likely as men to experience unintentional and involuntary bladder emptying due to their anatomical structure and biological functions. Urinary incontinence is associated with great discomfort, a sense of shame, and a significant reduction in self-esteem, often resulting in the limiting of, or withdrawing from, professional, social, and community life.
