To assess the prevalence and correlates of gynecologic and related morbidity in Omani women, a nationally representative sample of Omani women selected by a multi-stage, stratified probability sampling procedure was selected (total = 364). Questionnaire interview, physical and gynecological examination, and laboratory investigations were used to elicit information. The prevalence of lower reproductive tract infections was 22.4%, upper reproductive tract infections 2.7%, and cervical dysplasia was very rare. Genital prolapse was present in 10%, 11% had a urinary infection, 27% were anaemic, 23% were hypertensive, and 54% were either overweight or obese. The predictors of common morbidities were assessed using regression analysis according to a pre-specified conceptual model.

Urinary incontinence is the complaint of any involuntary leakage of urine. Among women in the general population, the most common types are stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence (EL4). Urinary incontinence is common and affects 25% to 45% of the women in the general population. The prevalence of incontinence increases with age up to the age of 65 (EL2). Many risk factors have been proposed for urinary incontinence. However, those for which the definitive evidence for a causal link and an effective risk reduction intervention are available are only a few. The best studied factor is overweight, clearly associated with incontinence and which reduction decreases by approximately 50% urinary incontinence episodes. Genital prolapse is associated with urinary incontinence and prolapse surgery reduces incontinence. Data concerning several classical risk factors for incontinence such as hypoestrogenism and vaginal delivery are contradictory (EL1). Urinary incontinence affects health with consequences such as dermatologic complications (skin maceration and ulcers) and falls. Urinary incontinence reduces the quality of life and generates high costs for affected individuals and in terms of public health (EL1).
