Is the incidence of urinary incontinence higher than that of diabetes?

  Urinary incontinence is one of the most common symptoms of voiding disorders, and there is a lack of related epidemiological surveys in China. Between 2011 and 2012, the Chinese Society of Urology led the first cross-regional, cross-hospital survey of the current status of urinary disorders such as urinary frequency and urgency and urinary incontinence in urology clinics in China.  The project included 57 hospitals in 14 cities, including Beijing and Hangzhou, and a random sample of 2,940 patients from 114 urologists attended the survey report, summarizing the two main characteristics of the current disorders of urination: 1, the onset of urinary disorders is a younger trend In this survey, patients under 40 years of age with urinary disorders accounted for 30%, patients aged 41 to 60 years accounted for 30%, and patients over 60 years accounted for 40%. Patients over 60 years of age accounted for 40%. According to the calculation of elderly people over 60 years old, more than half of the patients with urinary disorders are not elderly people.  The younger patients may have a lot to do with the current lack of regularity in young people’s lives, too much stress in life or work, too frequent nightlife, alcohol abuse and other factors.  Urinary incontinence not only brings adverse emotions such as anxiety, embarrassment and frustration to patients, but also seriously affects their work and life. However, in daily life, many people believe that incontinence is a natural phenomenon that occurs because of aging and choose to suffer in silence. This is a very wrong point of view: timely treatment from a professional doctor can help you get rid of the incontinence and embarrassment!  2, the incidence of women is higher than that of men The incidence of men is about 12%, the incidence of women is about 50%, and the incidence of older women is up to 70%! Statistics from the American Urological Association show that more than half of all women are faced with incontinence.  Many patients find incontinence difficult to talk about, embarrassed to tell the doctor, preferring to diligently change pants with pee pads rather than go to the doctor, often leak urine can also cause recurrent eczema, bed sores, skin infections and urethritis in the perineum, etc., the body will also have a urine odor, which is not life-threatening, but it will bring greater impact on patients. Therefore, once urinary incontinence brings inconvenience to their lives, they should be actively treated.
