Population-level data are lacking for urinary incontinence (UI) in Central and Eastern European countries. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence, bother, and behavior regarding treatment for UI in a population-representative group of Polish adults aged ≥ 40 years.
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is the downward descent of the female pelvic organs into or through the vagina. The symptom that most strongly correlates with and is most specific for POP is a feeling of vaginal bulging.
The aim of this study was to perform a cross-sectional study of Polish neurogenic patients to measure, at the population level, the prevalence, bother and behavior associated with treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and overactive bladder (OAB).
We summarized the evidence evaluating the cost-effectiveness of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) versus onabotulinumtoxinA (BONT/A) in the treatment of refractory overactive bladder (OAB) among women. We searched PubMed Medline (1946-2019), EMBASE (1947-2019), Web of Science (1900-2019), Clinical Trials.
Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to measure at the population level the prevalence, bother, effect on quality of life, and behavior associated with treatment for nocturia in a large representative cohort of Polish adults aged ≥40 years.
In utero myelomeningocele (MMC) repair has resulted in significant decrease in need for shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, however its impact on bladder function remains less clear. Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) due to MMC can be addressed with combination of clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) and anticholinergic (AC) therapy to minimize its effect on bladder function and upper urinary […]
Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is fundamental in managing children with impaired bladder function. However, it is not always feasible via the native urethra predominately males with intact sensation.
To assess the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin treatment (onabotulinumtoxinA 200 units) for Japanese patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity caused by spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis.
Interstitial cystitis or painful bladder syndrome is a chronic disorder that presents an unknown etiology, with no generally accepted treatment. Although there is no gold standard treatment, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has shown efficacy in several chronic pain syndromes with decrease in pain, and improved functionality and mood.
To determine whether modified reporting of positive urine cultures collected from indwelling catheters improved treatment decisions without causing harm. Prospective, unblinded, randomized control trial.
