Lack of association of joint hypermobility with urinary incontinence subtypes and pelvic organ prolapse.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that joint hypermobility (JHM) is associated with specific urinary incontinence (UI) subtypes and uterovaginal prolapse.

Patients And Methods: In all, 270 women scheduled to undergo urodynamic investigations were invited to self-complete a validated five-item JHM questionnaire. Women underwent history taking, symptoms assessing via the King's Health Questionnaire and clinical examination using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system.
