Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between stress urinary incontinence and low back pain in middle-aged women. Design: Correlation study. Subjects: One hundred multipara women participated in this study. 50 women complained from stress urinary incontinence (diagnosed by urogynecologists) and 50 women are free from stress urinary incontinence (diagnosed by urogynecologists).They were selected from AL Hussein University Hospital in Cairo, Al Azhar University. Their ages were ranged from 35 to 45 years old. Their body mass index was not exceeding 30 kg/m2.They were multipara women. Patients with corrected SUI, previous low back surgery, spondylolisthesis and chronic low back pain were excluded from the study. They were divided randomly into two equal groups (A& B). group (A) consisted of 50 women without SUI.group (B) consisted of 50 women with SUI. Methods: Pelvic floor muscle strength was assessed by Kegel perineometer and severity of low back pain was assessed by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for both groups (A&B). Results: In group A, there was no statistical significant correlation between Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODI) and pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS) (r= -0.206; p value = 0.151, while in group B, there was a statistical significant negative correlation between Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODI) and pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS) (r= -0.281; p value = 0.048). In total women in both groups (A&B), there was a statistical significant negative correlation between Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODI) and pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS) (r= -0.419; p value = 0.001)
