The publications on prevalence and risk factors of urinary and anal incontinence in women were performed mainly in Europe and America. Consequently, result extrapolation to Tunisian population may not be a good practice which justifies this study and demonstrates its importance.
A cross-sectional study will be conducted among female doctors and nurses randomly selected from 3 large hospitals in the center of Tunisia. The prevalence of urinary incontinence and anal incontinence will be measured using validated questionnaires.
