Ensuring the continuity of this important role increases the length as well as the quality of women’s life. One of the major health problems that adversely affect the quality of life of women is the lower urinary tract symptoms. Related to the physiological processes such as pregnancy and labor, together with structural and functional characteristics, lower urinary system specific symptoms are important health problems affecting the quality of life of women today. Therefore, most women do not consider these symptoms as a problem and therefore cannot receive the necessary care and treatment.

In this review, it is aimed to address the women specific lower urinary tract symptoms and the roles of women’s health nurses in these respects.
