Prevalence and associated risk factors of urinary incontinence and dyspareunia during pregnancy and after delivery
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology Feb 02, 2020
Novo R, et al. - Researchers investigated the prevalence of dyspareunia and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) during pregnancy and after delivery, in addition to appraising possible associated risk factors. They conducted a cross-sectional study among women who had given birth within the previous 12 months (n = 6,436) in Galicia (Spain) in 2016. After delivery, SUI and dyspareunia were prevalent in 20.4 % and 23.4 %, respectively. The presence of dyspareunia after delivery was identified to be correlated with the following variables: the presence of dyspareunia during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and having a history of episiotomy. The mother's history of SUI before pregnancy and during pregnancy, as well as having undergone vaginal delivery were correlated with SUI after delivery. These findings may assist in the identification of susceptible or "at risk" patients. They recommend including these variables in the clinical history of every pregnant woman.
