Results: The study included 396 females; 98 (24.7%) females had UI. Females age ranged from 18 to 65 years with mean age of 34.6-11.9 years. Exact of 85.4% of the females were married and 42.9% were working. University education was reported among 70.5% of the females and 42.7% were overweight or obese.
Conclusion: Based on this study findings, UI is common condition among Saudi women in eastern Oregon Al-Ahsa. The most reported features for UI among sampled females were stress.
