The goal of this observational study is detecting the dominant component of mixed urinary incontinence via a combined version of ICIQ-SF and quality of life scale. The main question it aims to answer is: 1\. Which component (urgency or stress) urinary incontinence bothers the patient more?
Female patients with mixed urinary incontinence will be given a combined version of ICIQ-SF and quality of life scale on the first visit. Additionally, a bladder diary and 1-hour pad test will be performed on the same visit. After deciding the appropriate treatment, on the 1-month visit (second visit) the same tests will be repeated and scores will be compared.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
100
A combined version of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and quality of life scale would be given to all patients. The sum of the responses for the third, fourth and fifth questions and quality of life scale scores will be recorded.
Bladder diary is an online application. Frequency, nocturia, functional bladder capacities will be reported. More than 8 urination during daytime will be recorded as overactive bladder. More than 1 interruption of sleep for urination at night is nocturia. Functional bladder capacity below 100 ml will be defined as decreased bladder capacity, while capacity over 400 ml will be reported as increased bladder capacity and compliance

One-hour pad test. * the test is started by putting one pre-weighted pad without patient voiding, -patient drinks 500 ml of sodium-free liquid in \<15 min- then sits or rests, * patient walks for 30 min, including climbing one flight of stairs (up and down), * patient performs the following activities: standing up from sitting (10 ), coughing vigorously (10 ), running on the spot for 1 min, bending to pick up an object from the floor (5 ), and washing hands in running water for 1 min (this activity program may be modified according to the patient's physical fitness), * the total amount of urine leaked is determined by weighing the pad. In the analysis of 1-hr pad test, an increase of 1-10 g is classified as representing mild incontinence, 11-50 g moderate and \>50 g severe incontinence. The values for 24-hr pad test are classified as follows: Mild (4-20 g/ 24 hr), moderate (21-74 g/24 hr), and severe (\>75 g/24 hr) incontinence
