Abstract
ABSTRACT Urinary incontinence (UI) is common in women in postmenopausal age, but many women delay seeking treatment. The objective of this study is to determine health-seeking behavior of postmenopausal women with UI and its associated factors. This is a cross-sectional study involving 348 postmenopausal women from the outpatient clinic using personal data forms and a validated UI questionnaire. A total of 348 menopausal women were involved in the study. Only 13.17% of patients with UI sought treatment. Factors associated with seeking treatment were age of menopause and severity of UI. More health education needs to be done among these patients.
