Objective: The purpose of the this study was to indicate the role of childbirth parameters on the development of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Methods: One hundred-one healthy women (control group) and 98 patients with SUI (study group) were included in this study between March 2008 and April 2009. Obstetric history of participants was taken and labor parameters were compared between control group and study group.
Results: The prevalence of SUI reported in the study was 43.9%. The result of prevalence was 43.9% during the study. Parity and gravidity was significantly more in study group (p<0.001). Vaginal delivery, Kristeller manauver, operative delivery by vacuum or forceps extraction and delivery of macrosomic fetus was found to be significant risk factors for SUI (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Mode of delivery and obstetric history have significant impact on subsequent SUI. Timely cesarean section in women with obstructed labor may prevent the later occurrence of SUI.
