Bladder leiomyomas are relatively rare benign tumors of the bladder. They represent <0.5% of all urinary bladder tumor. In the literature, only about 250 cases reported worldwide. They are commonly found in middle-aged females. Patients present with variety of clinical presentations with predominance of obstructive urinary symptoms. Ultrasound bladder is the first preferable diagnostic tool. Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathological examination. Surgical excision is almost highly effective, leaving a low recurrence rate. We report a 34-year-old male who presented with complaints of dysuria and incomplete voiding. Ultrasound showed a cystic fluid-filled bladder mass (ureterocele), which was excised through a transurethral resection. The histopathologic diagnosis was bladder leiomyoma.

Objectives: Urinary incontinence (UI) is prevalent and often underreported due to various barriers affecting healthcare‐seeking behavior. This study aimed to identify barriers preventing patients from seeking help for UI, assess the influence of sociodemographic and clinical factors on these barriers, and determine the associations between UI types and barriers in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A nationwide, cross‐sectional study was conducted from June 2024 to April 2025 among individuals aged ≥ 18 years who experienced UI and had not sought medical consultation. Participants completed a questionnaire that comprised sociodemographic data, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire‐Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ‐UI SF), and a modified Barriers to Incontinence Care Seeking Questionnaire (BICS‐Q). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t ‐tests, ANOVA, and binary logistic regression. Results: Of 505 eligible participants, 80.6% were female, predominantly aged 31–45 (40.0%), and the most common UI type was mixed UI (37.2%). The most significant barriers were embarrassment (33.3%), logistical inconvenience (appointments scheduled too far in advance, 36.8%), and provider‐related issues (lack of available providers, 12.3%). Gender, obesity, residency region, and type of UI significantly influenced barrier perception. Fear‐related barriers were notably higher in nocturnal UI, whereas embarrassment and cultural concerns were highest among those with mixed UI. Conclusion: This study highlights significant embarrassment, inconvenience, and provider‐related barriers deterring healthcare‐seeking among UI patients in Saudi Arabia. Findings emphasize the need for culturally tailored interventions, improved healthcare accessibility, and targeted public awareness campaigns.

Background and Objectives: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent condition that significantly affects quality of life but remains underreported. Understanding the factors that influence patients’ decisions to seek medical consultation is essential for improving care-seeking behavior and ensuring timely intervention. This study aimed to identify the facilitators of seeking medical consultation among individuals with UI in a Saudi secondary care setting. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2024 to April 2025 among adult patients with UI attending urology and urogynecology outpatient clinics at a single tertiary center. Participants completed a structured, self-administered questionnaire that comprised sociodemographic data, the ICIQ-UI SF, and 33 potential motivators for seeking care, categorized into six domains. Results: A total of 241 participants were included in the study. The 33-item scale demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.945). The most influential domains were daily and physical impact, followed by emotional and psychological factors. Top facilitators included interference with prayers (66.8%), use of pads (62.2%), social limitations (63.9%), frequent clothing changes (64.7%), and fear of worsening symptoms (63.5%). Cultural factors, such as access to same-sex specialists (52.2%), were also prominent. Logistic regression identified age, marital status, and motivators from several domains as significant predictors. Key independent predictors included prayer interference, leakage frequency, and gender-concordant care. Conclusions: Help-seeking for UI is influenced by physical, emotional, social, and cultural factors. Enhancing patient education, addressing sociocultural sensitivities, and promoting physician-led discussions foster earlier care-seeking and improve health outcomes in populations with traditionally low treatment uptake.
