Objective: To evaluate the profile and knowledge of incontinent women regarding urinary incontinence. Method: Cross-sectional study performed with women with complaints of urinary loss from a city in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Seventy-five incontinent women participated in the study. A sociodemographic and a validated questionnaire regarding the knowledge about urinary incontinence (Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Quiz – PIKQ) were answered using an online platform. Results: Most participants were young, with a mean age of 43 years, married, and with high educational and socioeconomic levels. All volunteers presented high knowledge regarding the incidence, risk factors, diagnostics and treatment of urinary incontinence, with a gap concerning knowledge regarding the use of drugs as a predictor for the condition. Conclusion: The present study showed that urinary incontinence occurs in young women and that knowledge regarding the issue was high, possibly due to the high socioeconomic status of the participants.
