Overview
The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of voiding disorders and the related risk factors for the primary school-age children in El Ghrbia Government
Detailed description
Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is classified as a storage and voiding symptoms. Storage symptoms are increased or decreased urinary frequency, urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, and nocturia. Voiding symptoms are classified as hesitation, straining, weak stream, and intermittency. Other symptoms are holding maneuvers, feeling of incomplete emptying, postmicturition dribble, and genital and lower urinary tract pain. Constipation and/or fecal incontinence are closely related to LUTD, among children over 5 years due to functional or nonorganic causes.
The exact prevalence of the lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is unknown, approximately 20% to 30% of children in the world have symptoms associated with voiding disorders. In epidemiological studies, this ratio is between 2.1% and 19.2% in school-age children.Due to the modern lifestyle, the prevalence increases secondary to changes in toilet training and habits.
