General information: In women, poor perineal hygiene is often one of the causes of urinary tract infections. Bad perineal hygiene plays an even more important role in the development of urinary tract infections, especially in diseases that suppress the immune system such as diabetes. Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the hygiene habits of women with diabetes mellitus and the state of occurrence of urinary system infections. Method: For 6 months, 156 diabetic women from Erciyes University’s Gevher Nesibe Hospital’s Internal Disease Endocrinology Clinic were taken into the research scope. The data of the research was collected by the researcher through the survey form developed by a literary scan on the subject. Results: The incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in the study group is 10.9%. It has been shown that in women who do not have adequate hygiene habits, the incidence of asymptomatic bacteria has increased. The diagnosis period was 13 years and older, and women with insulin and high levels of HbA1c were more likely to have asymptomatic bacteria (P<0.05). Results: The research finds that although hygiene habits affect the frequency of asymptomatic bacteria, the characteristics associated with diabetes are more effective in the frequency of asymptomatic bacteria.
