Prevalence and severity of functional urinary and anorectal disorders and their impact on quality of life in cystic fibrosis
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as "the complaint of any involuntary loss of urine" (International Continence Society ICS-,2002). The most common type of UI is stress urinary incontinence (SUI), defined as UI on effort or physical exertion, such as during sporting activities or on sneezing or coughing. The second type is urge urinary incontinence (UUI), defined as UI associated with urgency (a sudden compelling need to urinate that is difficult to defer), which is part of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB).
