Brief summary
To study the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in female athletes from Castilla y León, as well as the category of athletics with the highest number of losses, the most incident risk factors and the bio-psycho-social consequences that it leads to.
Detailed description
Elaboration of a survey, based on two validated questionnaires to which 63 participants have answered, to carry out an analytical, transversal and observational study. All the participants are women, of age, federated in athletics and belonging to Castilla y León. UI has a high prevalence (44.4%) in female athletes, being more common in those who practice long-distance races. As age and years of sport increase, the incidence of this pathology increases. Absorbent pads are used by more than half of the incontinent women, while the rest wet their underwear. Menopause, childbirth and surgery in the region are risk factors for UTIs, while the presence of urinary tract infections or candidiasis are not. The results affirm that urine leaks do not cause anxiety or depression, but they do affect your sporting life.
