Urinary incontinence (UI) has a potentially devastating effect on women’s quality of life (QoL). Conservative treatment by means of pelvic floor muscle training is the first-choice treatment modality.
This systematic review evaluated the rigor of the development of clinical practice guidelines (CPG). The searched sources were MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and specific databases of CPG.
Current evidence suggests that overweight and obesity are important risk factors for urinary incontinence in women. However, little is known about the relationships between body mass index (BMI), physical activity and urinary incontinence in women in their 20s.
The objective was to report on the very long-term outcome of a published series of autologous pubovaginal slings (PVS) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Following institutional review board approval, a cohort of well characterized, non-neurogenic women who underwent an autologous PVS (primary [PVS1] and secondary [PVS2]) for SUI was re-evaluated for their very […]
The relationship between prostate cancer (PCa) and overactive bladder (OAB) is poorly understood. PCa and OAB are frequently diagnosed in elderly populations, so it could be expected that both conditions would be observed in older patients.
This study aimed to assess the short-term results of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women undergoing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) with and without midurethral sling (MUS). This retrospective study was conducted from July 2012 to December 2017.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common disorder in the general population, and the prevalence increases with age. Adults with OAB typically have a greater number of comorbid conditions, such as hypertension, depression, and dementia, compared with adults without OAB.
To assess women’s knowledge, patient experience, and treatment decision making regarding overactive bladder (OAB) using digital ethnography. Online posts were identified using a data mining service.
Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD), an extremely distressing complication secondary to an indwelling urinary catheterization, is frequently reported in patients with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), postoperatively.
The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of surgery for post-prostatectomy incontinence (PI) following minimally invasive surgery compared to conventional open surgery for prostate cancer.
