Sažetak

To determine the incidence of urinary incontinence among female workers 383 women with different jobs from three firms were examined over a three-year period. Examination comprised a systematic gynaecological check-up and a questionnaire. The established incidence was 4.7%. Among the factors known to predispose damage to the pelvic muscles the number of births, physical work and body weight failed to show the expected impact, whereas age was highly significant in respect to the symptoms of incontinence (P < 0.001). The age-related degeneration and involution of the genital tract can be cured if treatment is started early enough. Regression of symptoms was noticed in 66% of the treated women.
