[Urinary stress incontinence and equilibrium of the genitourinary tract in village women].

This study was performed in 100 women aged 28 to 60 years, who had 1 to 6 physiological deliveries. The women were divided into two groups: 1) living in cities; 2) living in villages. The number of deliveries, miscarriages, birth weight of fetus and retention of urine were recorded. Bacterial cultures were also performed and the statics of the genitourinary system was investigated. The amount of urinary retention was standardized using a 3 degree scale. It was found that women living in village significantly less frequently demonstrate changes in the statics of the genitourinary system, urinary stress incontinence and retention, as well as infections of the urinary tract.
