To determine whether catheterization rates after intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection for nonneurogenic overactive bladder and urgency incontinence differ between women with urgency urinary incontinence only and women with urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence.
Female urethral stricture is a poorly studied disease entity. To date, its management has been poorly evaluated, with small numbers and various definitions of success. Treatment options traditionally have been urethral dilatation and/or self-catheterization with success rates ranging from only 14 to 49%.
A ≥50% subjective improvement in urinary symptoms during sacral neuromodulation testing (SNM-I) is currently used as the indication for progression to second-stage implantation (SNM-II). While most patients will have successful SNM-I and proceed to SNM-II, deterioration in efficacy over time has been reported.
To describe the health characteristics and current treatment choices of male stress urinary incontinence (mSUI) patients to inform patient-centered decision-making. We identified a cohort of mSUI patients aged ≥65 at UCSF and San Francisco VA.
To compare continence outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among women with limited activity restrictions vs. traditional restrictions following mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery. Thirty-six women who underwent MUS surgery were randomized: 1) the Restrictions group was given traditional postoperative restrictions for six weeks while 2) the Limited Restrictions group was instructed to resume normal […]
Urinary incontinence is a syndrome common in older adults, but it is not clear whether urinary incontinence is associated with the risk for mortality in elderly nursing home residents. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and Web of Science databases.
This study was to evaluate the impact of the symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome on female sexual function. Seventy nine patients with OAB (OAB group) and 79 healthy women (control group) underwent physical examination at our center, and had their sexual function evaluated using the female sexual function index (FSFI).
: Desmopressin was widely used to treat nocturnal polyuria in adults under the age of 65 due to the well-established risk of hyponatraemia. Since the prevalence of nocturia increases with age, and with an ageing population, those most affected were excluded from treatment.
Nocturia is a common and highly troubled lower urinary tract symptom, which has a wide range of effects. About 33% of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms have been affected by nocturia. Nocturia is mainly manifested as the increase of urination frequency and urine volume at night.
We aim to compare the safety and effectiveness of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) versus percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in treating overactive bladder. A systematical search on PubMed, Embase, clinicalTrial.
