The aim of the study was to assess whether home biofeedback is noninferior to supervised pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. The study used a randomized controlled noninferiority trial to compare a home biofeedback device with PFPT.
To investigate the persistence and adherence rate of overactive bladder medications and factors that affect these rates. Electronic English-language literature searches of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases from the earliest available date of indexing through May 21, 2019, using the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings terms) and Emtree (EMBASE subject headings).
The aim of this survey was to investigate the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) among women (primigravida, multigravida, and nulligravida) in high-impact exercise groups-CrossFit, kickboxing, and boot camp.

Women experience a variety of troublesome symptoms as a consequence of prolapse, including a feeling of ‘something coming down’ into the vagina, pain, urinary […]
A growing number of researches suggested that preoperative pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) was beneficial for urinary incontinence (UI) after a prostatectomy. However, these studies are debatable and inconclusive.
Intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA is a third-line treatment for urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) which is customarily reserved for severe disease. We sought to determine if symptom severity predicts the proportional response to onabotulinumtoxinA and whether low-dose injection may be an appropriate treatment for mild-moderate symptoms.
Fecal incontinence treatment goals are understudied and are not described for women presenting to care. Our objective was to explore patient-reported goals for fecal incontinence management among women presenting for care at a pelvic floor disorders clinic and develop a conceptual framework that captures the range of desired treatment outcomes.
Both depression and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) may be present in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The objective of this study was to give an insight on depression and LUTS in patients with MS in Croatia and to determine the possible association between LUTS and depression in patients with MS.
The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and overactive bladder (OAB) has been measured by population-based investigations in many parts of the world. However, data are lacking for Eastern Europe, and there has not been any large population-representative study in any country of this region.
The Nocturia Sleep Quality Scale (NSQS), a novel patient-reported outcomes measure, was developed to assess the impact of sleep disturbance from nocturia. The objective of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the NSQS, including its structure, reliability, and validity.
