Background: The objective of the present study was to observe the post void residual volume (PVRV) in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) pre and postoperatively and to correlate stage of prolapse with lower urinary tract symptoms and quality of life in women with pelvic organ prolapse.Methods: This is a prospective observational cohort study of 100 women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse of stage II or greater. Patients were admitted for Vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic floor repair for pelvic organ prolapse in Gynaecology Department at Christian Medical College Hospital, Vellore, India over one year were recruited. This study was approved by the institutional review board and ethical committee of the hospital. Pre- and post-operative PVR were measured. The statistical analysis was done by using SPSS version 21 and P value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: In this study 100 patients were recruited and 11% of women had pre-operative high post void residual volume of more than 100 ml. Stages of POP did not correlate with severity of LUTS and QOL. Pre-operative elevated PVR resolved post operatively in 91%, the P value <0.000 which was highly significant.Conclusions: 11% of women had preoperative high PVR. Stages of POP did not correlate with severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and quality of life(QOL). Pre-operative elevated PVR resolved post operatively in 91%, the P value < 0.000 which was highly significant. Majority of the patient with severe pelvic organ prolapse had elevated pre-op PVR which resolved post- operatively after surgical correction.

The objective: to investigate the epidemiology of the stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and common lower urinary tract symptoms and the related quality of life among women of different age groups of the selected population by the questionnaire method. Materials and methods. Questionnaires of 49 women of all ages, who were not treated for urologic complaints at the time of the survey, were analyzed. The anamnestic part of the Petros questionnaire and short forms Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) were selected for survey. The age distribution is based on qualitative age ranges recommended by WHO. Results. In all, 63% of women surveyed had complaints related with urinary disorders; the most common lower urinary tract symptom was SUI, which worried 41% of all women. The prevalence of SUI among women of different age groups varied: in young and mature women – 35%, significantly increased in middle-aged women and decreased in elderly women. All middle-aged and elderly women had lower urinary tract symptoms. Among the recognized risk factor for SUI was statistically significant cough (p<0.05) with an average association between risk factor and disease. About 61% of patients with urinary incontinence indicated that their symptoms affected quality of life. Conclusions. The analysis of the results of the questionnaire confirmed the feasibility of using UDI-6 and IIQ-7 in epidemiological studies of UI among women. The results of the work performed may be qualified as partial validation of the UDI-6 and IIQ-7 questionnaires in terms of assessing their reliability. Keywords: urinary incontinence among women, stress urinary incontinence among women, lower urinary tract symptoms among women, quality of life, risk factors, questionnaires.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and the associated functional disorders are a major epidemiological problem that compromises the quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to POP and vaginal native tissue repair (VNTR) on QoL. Two hundred patients with symptomatic POP were stratified into four groups according to the dominant storage phase function disorders: Urgency; stress urinary incontinence (SUI); mixed urinary incontinence (MUI), and without clinically significant symptoms from lower urinary tract (LUT). They underwent VNTR from January 2018 to February 2019. After 12 months, the QoL was assessed by the Prolapse Quality of Life (P-QoL) and visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaires. The data were analyzed with Statistica package version 12.0 (StatSoft, Krakow, Poland), using the Kalmogorow–Smirnoff, Shapiro–Wilk W and the one-way analysis of variance with post hoc Tukey tests. The results of P-QoL showed significant improvement (p < 0.05) in all the study groups in most domains assessed before surgery and 12 months after surgery. Significant improvements in all the symptoms assessed by the VAS scale results were found in groups Urgency and MUI. The LUTS questionnaire revealed significant improvement in all voiding and post voiding symptoms in these groups. VNTR effectively eliminated LUTS and significantly improved the patients’ QoL associated with POP.

Abstract Background This study aims to assess the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms, and to assess predictors of impaired quality of life among Egyptian adults complain of lower urinary tract symptoms. Methods An observational cross-sectional research was done using an online anonymous poll survey. The survey was implemented through sharing on different social media applications. The survey was posted from June 1, 2020, to June 10, 2020. The overall communities of the Egyptian adults who satisfied the incorporation rules and consented to take an interest in the research were incorporated using convenience and snowball collecting methods (188 adults). A semi-structured questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics and Arabic Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) short forms were used. Results Approximately 220 Egyptian adults shared in the research but only 188 fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria. Approximately 92% of them had at least one symptom of lower urinary tract manifestations. Irritative symptoms presented in 65 (85.5%) of males and 102 (91.1%) of females. Stress symptoms presented in 44 (57.9%) of males and 63 (56.2%) of females with higher statistically significant mean of stress symptoms. Obstruction/discomfort symptoms presented in 51 (67.1%) of males, and 77 (68.8%) of females. Seeking help and duration of the urological problem were statistically significant independent positive predictors of UDI-6-total. The Irritative score, obstruction/discomfort score, and duration of the urological problem were statistically significant independent positive predictors of IIQ-7-total. Conclusions Urological problems are common and have an impact on the quality of life in various domains of physical activity, social relationships, travel, and emotional health.

Background/Aim. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a pathological process, which is one of the most common causes of so-called lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). LUTS affect many aspects of daily activities and almost all domains of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of operative treatment of BPH using standard clinical diagnostic procedures and effects on LUTS using the symptom-score validated to Serbian language as well as implications on HRQoL. Methods. Seventy-four patients underwent surgical treatment for BPH. The study protocol included objective and subjective parameters of the following sets of variables measured before and after the surgery: voiding and incontinence symptoms were measured using the International Continence Society male Short Form (ICS male SF) questionnaire, HRQoL was measured using the SF-36 questionnaire along with standard clinical measurement of residual urine and urine flow. Results. After the surgery, all patients had decrease of voiding scores (13.5 ? 3.3 before and 1.5 ? 1.4 after surgery) and incontinence symptoms (5.7 ? 3.9 before and 0.6 ? 0.8 after surgery) in comparison to period before operative treatment. Significant improvements in all dimensions of HRQoL were noticed, particularly in emotional health. Although mental and physical total scores were significantly better than prior to the surgery, the level of improvement of voiding and incontinence scores were significantly correlated only with the level of improvement of mental score. Conclusion. After BPH surgery, patients are likely to have normal voiding symptoms, barely some involuntary control over urination and overll better HRQoL, particularly in emotional domain.
