DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF URETHRAL PROFILOMETRY IN CHILDREN: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRACTICAL USE

In pediatric neuro-urology, the method of urodynamic studies – urethra profirometry (UP) – is one of the main ones, but still inferior in frequency to cystometry and uropometry. The main indications for use of the UP method are stress urinary incontinence and a comprehensive examination of neurological patients. The long-term focus of the UP results has been on decreasing the closure function of the urethral sphincter. The article summarizes the material on the application of the UP method in children, describes the techniques, indications and possible results of the research on the practical significance of the reduction of intraurethral pressure, its high rates and instability.

Long Term Treatment

IntroductionPrevious research has shown that vaginal pessaries are a cost-effective treatment for women worldwide suffering from stress urinary incontinence. However, little is known about African women’s experiences with vaginal pessary use. The aim of this study was to understand the experiences of vaginal pessary use among Tanzanian women who had received long-term pessary treatment for stress urinary incontinence.Methods15 semi-structured, individual interviews were conducted over a 2-month period in 2019 with Tanzanian women living in the Kilimanjaro Region who suffered from stress urinary incontinence and who had been using a pessary for at least 18 months. The interview transcripts were analysed using qualitative content analysis.ResultsThe primary motivation for seeking treatment were discomfort from symptoms, social consequences and low quality of life. Perceived benefits from pessary use included improved quality of life with reacquired abilities to perform daily activities, participate in social gatherings, feeling symptom relief and improved sexual relations. Further, some women saw pessary treatment as superior to other locally available treatment options. Perceived barriers for pessary use included shame, husband’s disapproval, limited access to treatment and lack of knowledge among the women as well as healthcare personnel.ConclusionVaginal pessaries are well-perceived as a long-term treatment method among Tanzanian women suffering from stress urinary incontinence. This method may have potential to be implemented large scale in Tanzania if combined with basic health education.
