Despite control activities, morbidity from schistosomiasis in these regions remains a challenge, therefore updated prevalence data are important for proper planning of control strategies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and associated socio\u2010demographic and behavioral risk factors of urinary schistosomiasis among individuals attending healthcare facilities in Al Managil, Gezira State, Sudan.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A hospital\u2010based cross\u2010sectional study was conducted in Al\u2010Managil city, Gezira State, from August 2022 to June 2023. A total of 212 participants were selected using systematic random sampling. Urine examination was performed microscopically for the presence of eggs of\n                      <jats:italic>Schistosoma haematobium<\/jats:italic>\n                      . Data on socio\u2010demographic, environmental, and behavioral factors were obtained using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. The Chi\u2010square test was used to assess associations between urinary schistosomiasis and its risk factors.\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2010value\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 was considered to be statistically significant.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis was 29.7% (63\/212). The prevalence was significantly higher among males and rural residents, individuals with low educational level, and farmers (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Proximity to water source, use of non\u2010sanitary toilets, bathing, swimming in water, and water contact were also significantly associated with urinary schistosomiasis (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Significant associations between urinary schistosomiasis and its symptoms, like hematuria, dysuria, frequency, itching, and urticaria, were also found. Urinary schistosomiasis was not significantly associated with other factors like age, fever, and weight loss.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Urinary schistosomiasis transmission still persists in Al Managil city despite the ongoing control efforts.
