Purpose: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common in women, and negatively affect their lives. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of LUTS and its affecting factors in female graduate students in Turkey.

Data were; provided sociodemographic characteristics, a questionnaire, and the Bristol Female LUTS Scale. Linear regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors associated with LUTS.

Results: According to the data obtained, the prevalence of at least one of the LUTS was determined as 71.8% (515/815). It was determined that the prevalence of storage symptoms was higher than that of voiding and urinary incontinence. According to the results of the linear regression analysis, the risk factors for LUTS in female student were hold urine at school, complaints of urinary incontinence in family, bedwetting in children, constipation, regular drug use, obesity.
