Objective: to analyze the relationship between gestational history and urinary incontinence in women.
Method: an exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study, conducted with 227 women with urinary incontinence treated in a reference outpatient unit in the South of Brazil, identifying gestational history and incontinence subtype. To analyze the association, the chi-square and Cramér’s V tests were used, with a 5% significance level.
Results: mixed urinary incontinence (87.2%; n=198) was predominant, with 89% for two or more pregnancies, and vaginal deliveries (two or more) occurred more frequently (71.4%) than cesarean sections (14.5%) for two or more pregnancies; 64.3% underwent episiotomy. There was no statistical significance between the incontinence subtypes and the gestational history variables.
Conclusion: mixed urinary incontinence was the most present subtype. Multiparity and vaginal delivery characterize this group. The importance of pelvic floor preparation in the peri-gestational period is shown, minimizing the impact of incontinence in this population.
