Body mass index increase (p> 0.05), duration of menopause (p> 0.05), the number of nocturia (p> 0.05) and night-time wetting (p <0.005), making birth (p> 0.05), abortion (p> 0.05), hypertension (p <0.05) as well as some chronic diseases, medication use (p <0.05) did not cause a change in the quality of life in postmenopausal women with urinary incontinance. We found that the quality of life was significantly affected in the group with sudden urgency when compared with the group of patients who did not have urgency complaint (p<0,005). Conclusion: Quality of life deteriorates, especially psychosocial health, in patients with urinary incontinence. Regardless of the severity of the urinary incontinence that is shown objectively, the quality of life is negatively affected.
