The purpose of this review was to identify the evaluated effects of the use of biofeedback probes used in the self-rehabilitation of the pelvic floor muscles, on the muscle function, symptom severity, quality of life, and compliance/adherence to exercise for women with stress urinary incontinence.
Functional and anatomical changes associated with prostate removal coincide with alterations in pelvic structures. Posterior rhabdosphincter reconstruction was designed to improve urinary continence after radical prostatectomy.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is frequently underreported and underdiagnosed in the clinical setting. We analyzed 12 years of data from a large, nationally representative sample of women in the United States to assess the prevalence, severity, and daily impact of UI and its subtypes at the population level.
Background. Post-prostatectomy stress urinary incontinence (PPSUI) is one of the major complaints after radical prostatectomy. Transoburator male sling (TMS) placement is indicated in persistent mild to moderate PPSUI.
The current treatment for urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse includes a wide range of innovative options for conservative and surgical therapies. Initial treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction consists of individualized topical estrogen therapy and professional training in passive and active pelvic floor exercises with biofeedback, vibration plates, and a number of vaginal devices.
To identify the definition for urinary continence (UC) after radical prostatectomy (RP) which reflects best patients’ perception of quality of life (QoL). Continence was prospectively assessed in 634 patients, 12 months after RP using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short-Form (ICIQ-SF) and the number of pads employed in a 24-hour period (pad usage).
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common and troublesome condition that can significantly impair quality of life. This review aims to educate providers of obstetrics and gynecology services about available therapies for OAB and what to expect following treatment.
Behavioral therapy is the first-line treatment for overactive bladder (OAB); however, the cognitive components of behavioral therapy for OAB have not been evaluated. The purposes of this systematic review were to describe the cognitive components of behavioral therapy for OAB and evaluate their effectiveness as well as to describe their rationale and origins.
Guidelines vary on antibiotic prophylaxis for onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) treatment for overactive bladder (OAB). Our primary objective was to determine whether any prophylactic regimen is more effective in preventing urinary tract infection (UTI) after Botox.
Nocturnal polyuria syndrome (NPS) denotes nocturnal polyuria (NP) in the absence of identifiable contributory factors. The trajectory of nocturnal urine production (NUP; typically expressed as ml/hour) may be useful in delineating between NP patients with versus without NPS, but changes in absolute urine volume, the directly measured substrate for behavioral and pharmacologic interventions targeting nocturnal […]
