Abstract

Urinary incontinence is defined as an involuntary urine loss. It is clinically demonstrable and causes social and hygienic problems. Objective. To determine the prevalence and symptoms of urinary incontinence in stroke women and verify the association with the lesion topography. Method. We evaluated 91 stroke women using the Mini-mental and King’s Health Questionnaire from March 2005 to March 2006. Women with cognitive deficit and previous urinary incontinency were excluded. We divided them into two groups: continent and incontinent. Lesion topography was determined by tomography scan images. Results. Out of the 91 women, 13 were excluded with cognitive deficits or previous urinary incontinency, resulting in 41 incontinent patients and 37 continent, 6 of them got better spontaneously. Urinary symptoms occurred in 45% of stroke women. We observed 28 (68.2%) that presented urge-incontinence and 24 (58.5%) with urinary urgency. Conclusion. The main symptoms were urge-incontinence and urgency and there was not a significant association between the lesion topography and the urinary symptoms.
