de Vasconcelos VS, et al. - Researchers conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive study with the aim to determine the overall frequency of urinary incontinence in pregnant adolescents, focusing particularly on the presence of symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and coital incontinence (CI). In addition, they sought to delineate the biological, sociodemographic, clinical, urinary, reproductive, sexual and lifestyle factors linked with incontinence. In a convenience sample of 103 pregnant adolescents attending for prenatal consultations during the study period, 60.1% reported presence of urinary incontinence. Of these, 37.8% reported SUI and 33.9% reported CI. Statistically significant correlations were observed between CI and the occurrence of SUI prior to pregnancy, between SUI and chronic coughing and between CI and height. Findings overall suggest that pregnant adolescents may report presence of urinary incontinence, with symptoms possibly beginning as early as the first trimester of pregnancy.
