INTRODUCTION: According to recent national and international experience the number of people suffering from urinary incontinence is increasing. OBJECTIVE: To gain solid data on the incidence and origin of the condition, age and medical history of the affected patients in an epidemiological study. METHODS: The authors directed a national statistical survey regarding female incontinence. 35,448 women's data were collected about the predisposing factors. RESULTS: 36% of the women asked considered themselves incontinent. The authors analyzed the connection between the condition and factors such as the number and type of deliveries, and the weight of the babies. CONCLUSIONS: After the extrapolation of the data the number of incontinent women in Hungary should be near 600,000, which contradicts previous calculations. This makes female urinary incontinence a national health problem, which should be subject to further sociological and medical studies.
