Abstract		Urinary incontinence is a highly prevalent condition that can represent a significant emotional, social and psychological burden for the affected woman. It is one of the most common health problems in women, especially the elderly. Costs of diagnosis and therapy burdening health care systems are within the range of those for diabetes or hypertension in most Western countries. Yet, relatively little is known about the epidemiology and natural history of female urinarv incontinence. Some new knowledge about this disturbance is reviewed in the article.
Summary		Urinska inkontinenca je pogosta motnja, ki lahko predstavlja precejšnjo čustvenu, socialno in psihično breme za prizadeto žensko. Hkrati gre tudi za eno najpogostejših zdravstvenih težav pri ženski, še posebej v starosti. Stroški, ki jih ima zdravstveni sistem z diagnostiko in zdravljenjem te motnje, so v večini zahodnih držav primerljivi s stroški pri sladkorni bolezni ali pri hipertenziji. Zaenkrat je še relativno malo znanega o epidemiologiji in poteku urinske inkontinence pri ženskah, zato v tem prispevku predstavljamo nekatera nova vedenja o tej motnji.
