[Prevalence of various urination disorders in residents of the Republic of Dagestan].

Purpose: to evaluate the prevalence of various urination disorders in residents of the Republic of Dagestan, and, thus, to improve their diagnosis and treatment.

Materials And Methods: 584 residents (264 men and 320 women) from different regions of the Republic of Dagestan took part in an anonymous questionnaire survey: 165 residents of Makhachkala, including 92 men and 73 women; 86 residents of Derbent and villages of Southern Dagestan, including 30 men and 56 women; 73 residents of Khasavyurt and Kizilyurt, including 34 men and 39 women; 53 residents of Buynaksk, including 19 men and 34 women; 42 residents of Izberbash, including 19 men and 23 women; 58 residents of the Kaspiysk, 29 men and 29 women; 42 residents of Kayakent, 4 men and 38 women; 65 residents of other regions of the Republic of Dagestan (Karabudakhkent, Gumbet, Gunibsk, Shamil, Khunzakh, Botlikh, Kazbek, Levashin, Tlyaratin, and Tsumadin regions), 37 men and 28 women.

Results: According to the survey of the residents of the Republic of Dagestan, a significant prevalence of various urinary disorders (63.5%) was found among both men (61.7%) and women (65.0%). Unfortunately, not all patients seek medical advice with complaints of dysuria (55.5%). The fact that 18.8% of patients do not know that they can get help, and 24.1% believe that they do not have a good doctor in their region can be considered as the most an unfavorable moment in terms of the reasons for the refusal of visiting a doctor..

Conclusions: All this findings suggest the need for educational programs both for physicians and the population (educative activities).
