The study published in the November issue of the American Journal of Medicine, found the median weekly number of episodes was one, but the range was one to 35. Most women (68%) used sanitary napkins or pads at least occasionally, and 46% occasionally had wet clothing from urinary leakage.
Increasing severity of symptoms was associated with lower quality of life. “None of the women reporting very severe urge or mixed urinary incontinence also reported being satisfied with her quality of life,” the researchers said.
