The Prevalence of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Individuals With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease characterized by airflow limitations and respiratory symptoms due to structural changes in the airways. Common symptoms include dyspnea, chronic cough, and increased sputum production. Respiratory diseases are a risk factor for lower urinary tract symptoms, which can lead to leakage if pelvic floor muscles are weak. Lower urinary tract symptoms are classified into storage, emptying, and post-emptying groups. Current literature on urinary incontinence in COPD patients is limited, and there is a need for further research on the presence and effects of lower urinary system symptoms in individuals with COPD and the level of pelvic floor health knowledge.
