Objective: The aim of the study was to determine prevalence of urinary incontinence in post-partum females in
tertiary care setups in Hayatabad, Peshawar.
Study Design: Cross-sectional.
Place and Duration of Study: Tertiary care hospitals of Hayatabad, Peshawar from September 2016 to February
2017.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted and a total of 296 females between 17 years
and 40 years were recruited from September, 2016 to December 2016. The mean age of the population was
27.20 ± 4.46 years. Participants were recruited by means of convenience sampling from tertiary care setups in
Hayatabad and were included in the study according to specified selection criteria. All of the participants
completed Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Short Form (BFLUTS-SF) after consent was taken and
were evaluated accordingly.
Results: The prevalence of post-partum urinary incontinence in females coming to in- and out-patients
departments of tertiary care hospital Hayatabad Peshawar was 28.64%. Out of total, 96% had moderate urinary
incontinence i.e. between one third to two third of the time (1/3-2/3) and the remaining 4% had severe
incontinence. Majority of the women (84.4%) reported nocturia as their major symptom, while nocturnal
incontinence/leakage was the lowest (9.8%). Bladder pain (48.3%) and intermittency (36.5%) were the next
highest reported symptoms. Stress incontinence proved to be slightly more prevalent at 45.3%, whereas urge
incontinence was at 43.9%. Less than half of the population 36.2% women reported an adverse effect on their
overall quality of life ranging from a little to a lot on the “bother” scale.

Hayatabad with most patients reporting a mild to moderate effect on quality of life.
