Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

To report a case of impairment urethral coitus after the midurethral sling procedure

Objective: To report the prevalence and risk factors of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and the prevalence of intrinsic sphincter deficiency in women with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among Female patients with MS, followed for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) during a 15-year period. Demographic data, MS history, expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score at the urodynamic visit, obstetrical past, birth weight, LUTS, and urodynamic findings were collected. SUI was defined as incontinence during cough, or any effort. A maximum urethral closure pressure less than 30 cm H2O defined intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Results: In total 363 women with a mean age of 46.7±10.8 years and a mean disease duration of 12.9±8.7 years were included. The incidence of relapsing remitting MS, a secondary progressive form, and a primary progressive form was 60.6%, 32.8%, and 6.6%, respectively. The prevalence of SUI was 31.4%. The prevalence of intrinsic sphincter deficiency was 1.4% and 0.8% of these patients had a SUI (P=0.300). In a multivariate analysis, women with a SUI had significantly higher birth weight (P=0.030), a pelvic organ prolapse (P=0.021), urgent urinary incontinence (P=0.006), a lower EDSS score (P=0.019), and a weaker containing effort (P<0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of SUI in women with MS was 31.4%. This symptom could affect the quality of life of women with MS.

Physical activity and sport are beneficial to the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system and many chronic pathologies. The High Authority of Health (HAS) recommends a regular practice. However, depending on the discipline and level of practice, it may be responsible for traumatic injuries, degenerative musculoskeletal injuries, overtraining, eating disorders or cardiovascular events. It also promotes urinary stress incontinence, by increasing intra-abdominal pressure in some situations. The prevalence of urinary leakage in the athlete depends of the practiced physical activity. A classification of the sports activities can be carried out according to the risk of increased pressures on the pelvic floor: high-risk sports: trampoline (10.17), acrobatic gymnastics, aerobics, athletics (jumping hedges, heights, triple jump), horse riding, basketball, volleyball, handball, martial arts; moderate-risk sports: tennis, skiing ... low risk sports: walking, swimming, cycling, rollerblading, golf ... In sports, urinary incontinence also depends of the practiced movements (jumps, abdominal exercises ...), and the occurence of sports activity. This disorder has even become one of the concerns of federal sports authority (INSEP). However, there is no data regarding stress incontinence of sports teenagers found n the literature on

Nocturnal enuresis is common problem in children who are from 5 to 18 years old and do not spontaneously urinate at least 2 times a week for more than 3 months. It can lead to major distress for the children and their parents. The investigators hypothesize that the 3-day voiding diary as the same as the 7-day voiding diary could be a diagnostic tool to provide information on the diagnosis and classification of nocturnal enuresis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reliability and sensitivity of 3-day versus 7-day voiding diary to diagnose nocturnal enuresis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the severity of urinary incontinence (UI) in elderly patients and its impact on the burden of care in their family caregivers.

The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of KHQ and ICIQ-SF in polish women.

This is a retrospective cohort study. In the investigation the clinical use of the Skin and leakage protocol (SLEP) is to be investigated. The SLEP is a generic digital diary form filled out to give information about the current status of continence care among care home residents. The SLEP tracks the number of leakage occurrences and daily skin health over a period of time with the purpose of assisting care staff in making decisions regarding continence care. The SLEP has been introduced at several United kingdom National Health Service care homes and with this investigation the investigators want to retrospectively analyse the data to determine the clinical usefulness of the form. The primary objective of the study is to describe any changes in product leakage rate at the baseline and follow up time period.

Aims: To assess pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). Methods: 51 women were prospectively divided into two groups, according to the symptoms as SUI (G1 = 22) or UUI (G2 = 29). Demographic data, such as number of Pads/ 24 hours, number of micturitions/ 24 hours and nocturia, delay time of urgent void (i.e., the time period for which an urgent void could be voluntarily postponed), number of parity and vaginal deliveries were obtained using a clinical questionnaire. Objective urine loss was evaluated by 60-min Pad Test. Subjective [urine stream interruption test (UST), visual survey of perineal contraction and transvaginal digital palpation] and objective (vaginal manometry) evaluations of PFM were performed in all patients.

To investigate the role of preoperative maximum urethral closure pressure and Valsalva leak point pressure in predicting outcome in patients who underwent trans-obturator tape for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.

Introduction: Urinary incontinence is often seen as a problem that affects multipara and old-aged women, however, there is evidence that during high impact physical activity, mainly, or those ones which promote a sudden increase of intra-abdominal pressure, this symptom is common, even among young women, physically active, and without known risk factors. Objective: Evaluate the prevalence of urinary incontinence in nulliparous and nulligest women who regularly practice physical activities. Method: 108 women, nulliparous and nulligest, average age 23.9 years old (from 18 to 30 years old) who exercise regularly. They were divided into 3 groups according to the regular practice of exercise forms, they are (G1) weight training, (G2) aerobic exercises, included jump, step and dancing classes, and (G3) swimming (crawl mode). All participants were questioned about the perception of leakage of urine during the practice of exercises. The established exclusion criterion included: surgeries of urinary tract, urinary infections, gestations, child-birth, advanced aged, obesity, sedentariness and practice of only one form of physical activity.
