Prevalence of Genitourinary Symptoms in the Late Menopause
Abstract
Abstract. One thousand two hundred women, aged 61, randomly selected from a defined geographical area in South Sweden, were interviewed by an anonymous questionnaire about their urogenital symptoms. Seventy‐five percent cooperated, of whom 29.2% admitted to some degree of urinary incontinence and 48.8% some degree of lower genital tract disorder. Stress incontinence symptoms were reported by 11.8% of the women, urge incontinence by 7.9% and both types combined—“mixed” by 9.5%. Four percent of all women (18% of stress incontinence) experienced a loss sufficient to necessitate the wearing of a sanitary napkin or change of under clothing several times a day. Thirteen percent had repeated urinary tract infections. Itch, discharge and smarting pain was reported by 15%. Thirty‐eight percent had vaginal dryness and dyspareunia. Only 4% of the women were undergoing estrogen therapy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
