Symptom improvement is worth a lot to women with urinary incontinence.(Gynecology)
ATLANTA -- Women with urinary incontinence are willing to pay a substantial amount of money for symptom improvement, a new study shows.
The finding underscores the extent of the negative impact that incontinence has on quality of life, Dr. Leslee Subak said at the annual meeting of the American Urogynecologic Society.
A total of 300 women with varying degrees of urinary incontinence were surveyed to determine both the amount that women typically spend in the course of coping with their incontinence and the amounts they think they would be willing to spend to achieve 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% symptom improvement.
Overall, the women were willing to pay more than $800 per year for symptom resolution--an amount comparable to what those with other chronic medical conditions, such as migraine headaches and acid reflux, have said they would be willing to pay for symptom resolution, said Dr. Subak, an obstetrician/gynecologist at the University of California, San Francisco.
The median the women were willing to pay monthly was $20 for 25% improvement, $30 for 50% improvement, $40 for 75% improvement, and $50 for resolution.
