The renowned Journal of Urology published this month online version on a study that correlates psychiatric disorders and sexual trauma to female incontinence.
The study analyzed the answers of 121 women who completed two questionnaires, The Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 and also examined the women’s mental health, history of sexual trauma, age, race and obstetric history.
Leading researcher and Director of Neurology, Female Urology and Voiding Dysfunction at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Centre, Dr. Adam P. Klausner wrote:
“This is the first study to our knowledge to characterize the association of psychiatric comorbidities and sexual trauma with the type, severity and quality-of-life impact of lower urinary tract symptoms in women using validated surveys. The prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities and sexual trauma is high in women veterans presenting for evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms,”
