Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is often performed to treat pelvic organ prolapse. Preoperative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) can improve after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. In contrast, some patients without incontinence preoperatively develop SUI after pelvic organ prolapse repair (ie, de novo SUI).
Telephone interviews including questionnaires have been used to obtain very long-term (>10-year) follow-up after stress urinary incontinence (SUI) procedures in women otherwise lost to follow-up (LTF).
To measure the impact of the placement of a midurethral sling (MUS) on development of urinary tract infections (UTI) in women with stress urinary incontinence. This is an analysis of a large managed care organization MUS database from 2005 to 2016.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent condition commonly treated with anticholinergic medications. The extent to which anticholinergic burden is associated with costs and healthcare resource use (HCRU) in the long-stay nursing home (LSNH) setting is currently unknown.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of life change and social distancing measures, during the Covid-19 outbreak, on the OAB symptoms and quality of life in women underwent different types of treatment.
Driven by increasing awareness of antibiotic stewardship, especially in the vulnerable group of patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD), whose frequent need for invasive interventions leads to a high incidence of recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs), the goal was to find an alternative to antibiotic treatment.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the presence of bladder and bowel symptoms in women recently imprisoned in Western Australian prisons, specifically; stress, urge and mixed urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence, nocturia, nocturnal enuresis and constipation and the impact on the quality of life (QOL).
Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is a chronic bladder condition characterized by frequent urination, inflammation, oxidative stress, and pain. The aim of the study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of an oral administration of Hidrox® (10 mg/kg) in the bladder and spinal cord in a rodent model of IC/BPS.
This open pilot registry study aimed to evaluate and compare the prophylactic effects of Pycnogenol® or cranberry extract in subjects with previous, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) or interstitial cystitis (IC).
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most commonly performed procedure for the management of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
