Unraveling of Urinary Disorders to Adenomyosis and Dysmenorrhea

Abstract

Objective: To explore the links between micturition disorders, adenomyosis, and dysmenorrhea and provide insight into the factors associated with the severity of LUTS symptoms in these conditions. Methods: This study was a descriptive qualitative study. We retrospectively collected medical record data from the Obstetrics Gynecology Outpatient Ward of Dr. Moewardi Surakarta General Hospital from January 2021 to May 2023. This study used The Modified International Prostate Symptom (IPSS) Score questionnaire to assess urinary complaints. The results of this study were analyzed using the Pearson correlation or Mann-Whitney test. Results: There is a significant relationship between adenomyosis and dysmenorrhea in urinary disorders (p-value of 0.016), where urinary disorders are found to be more severe in adenomyosis patients with dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: Lower urinary tract phenomena often occur symptomatically in adenomyosis patients and impact the quality of life of sufferers. Dysmenorrhea can be the most acute risk factor that increases the appearance of moderate to severe LUTS.
