Urinary incontinence (UI) is a more common problem in women. Its prevalence is very high, it affects anyone, but it increases with age in women, two to four times more than in men (Robles, 2006). In addition, it constitutes a social or hygiene problem for the person who presents it (Fabrellas, 2015). In this study, the risk factors associated with urinary incontinence in patients attending the urology consultation at the Don Alejandro De La Guardia Hijo Polyclinic will be identified. There are several risk factors associated with urinary incontinence, for this reason it has been studied in Panama at the Don Alejandro de la Guardia Hijo Polyclinic.
