It disturbs social, professional and intimate relations, and thus\u00a0contributes to a negative self-image, loss of self-confidence, withdrawal of a woman from social and family life,\u00a0and consequently promotes negative state of mind and depression.<br \/><strong>AIM.<\/strong> The aim of the study was to analyse the influence of urinary incontinence on the psychosocial functioning\u00a0of women suffering from this disease.<br \/><strong>MATERIAL AND METHODS.<\/strong> The study included a group of 202 women aged 40.1 \u00b1 13.9 years. A proprietary\u00a0questionnaire was used, aimed at all women who had an episode of urinary incontinence at any time in their life.<br \/><strong>RESULTS.<\/strong> The impact and perception of the urinary incontinence symptoms depended on its form and severity.\u00a0<br \/>Comparing stress urinary incontinence with the mixed form, a greater severity of symptoms in women with the\u00a0mixed form were observed, respectively 13.6% vs. 53.9%. Taking into account the aspects of life affected by\u00a0urinary incontinence, it was found that the greatest impact UI had on the social (52.5%), then on the professional\u00a0(28.7%), and the least impact on the family aspect of life (21.8%).<br \/><strong>CONCLUSIONS.<\/strong> Research has shown that urinary incontinence has the greatest impact on the social aspect\u00a0of the surveyed women\u2019s life. The reported impact largely depended on the form and severity of urinary\u00a0incontinence. In over 40% of women, symptoms related to urinary incontinence caused a deterioration of wellbeing\u00a0and body acceptance. The mixed form was by far the most problematic and had the greatest impact on the\u00a0daily functioning of women compared to, for example, the stress form.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STRESZCZENIE<\/strong><br \/><strong>WST\u0118P.<\/strong> Nietrzymanie moczu to uci\u0105\u017cliwy objaw wp\u0142ywaj\u0105cy negatywnie na wiele sfer \u017cycia cierpi\u0105cej na to\u00a0schorzenie kobiety.
