Purpose: To evaluate disease insight, personal distress, and healthcare-seeking behavior of women with urinary incontinence(UI) to improve women’s health in Korea. Methods: In October 2012, 500 Korean women residing around Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi-do were selected by randomsampling for a population-based cross-sectional survey conducted by computer-aided telephone interview. Sixteen questions,which included information on demographic characteristics, information sources, disease insights, and general health-seekingbehavior, were used for data collection. Results: Among the responders, 23.8% experienced UI, the prevalence of which increased with increasing age; 83.3% knewabout UI through the mass media out of 98.2% apprehended people. Regarding general awareness of UI, 77.2% understoodthat UI is caused by aging. A total of 48.7% of subjects experienced societal restrictions because of UI. Most women in in their30s (25.6%) in the acquired UI information from the Internet, while those in their 50s and 60s (50–59 years, 51.1%; 60–64years, 42.4%) learned about UI through friends. Among subjects who did not have UI, 89.37% intended to see a doctor orconsult a professional if they developed UI (83.2%). Among those with UI, however, only 59.0% had talked about UI; 79.7%had talked with friends or associates, whereas only 23.2% had consulted a professional. Conclusions: Most respondents tended to obtain information on UI through the mass media. Subjects who did not have UIexpressed their intention to consult a professional if they developed UI, while the percentage of subjects with UI who had consulteda professional was very low. Many women are ashamed of UI in Korea, which may be changed by providing efficientadvertising with the right information and establishing a new perception of UI.
