Prevalence of urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor-related symptoms in female professional dancers
Key Points
• A total of 34.6% of female professional dancers reported experiencing UI, a rate similar to that found in other high-level female athletes.
• In dancers, symptoms of stress UI (leaking urine with coughing, sneezing, physical activity, or exercise) were more common than symptoms of urge UI.
• Health care practitioners should consider regularly screening for UI and related pelvic floor symptoms in female professional dancers.
