Muscle Recovery

Weakness of urinary sphincter and pelvic floor muscles can cause insufficient urethral closure and lead to stress urinary incontinence. Bimagrumab is a novel myostatin inhibitor that blocks activin type II receptors, inducing skeletal muscle hypertrophy and attenuating muscle weakness. β2-Adrenergic agonists, such as 5-hydroxybenzothiazolone derivative (5-HOB) and clenbuterol, can enhance muscle growth. We hypothesized that promoting muscle growth would increase leak point pressure (LPP) by facilitating muscle recovery in a dual-injury (DI) stress urinary incontinence model. Rats underwent pudendal nerve crush (PNC) followed by vaginal distension (VD). One week after injury, each rat began subcutaneous (0.3 mL/rat) treatment daily in a blinded fashion with either bimagrumab (DI + Bim), clenbuterol (DI + Clen), 5-HOB (DI + 5-HOB), or PBS (DI + PBS). Sham-injured rats underwent sham PNC + VD and received PBS (sham + PBS). After 2 wk of treatment, rats were anesthetized for LPP and external urethral sphincter electromyography recordings. Hindlimb skeletal muscles and pelvic floor muscles were dissected and stained. At the end of 2 wk of treatment, all three treatment groups had a significant increase in body weight and individual muscle weight compared with both sham-treated and sham-injured rats. LPP in DI + Bim rats was significantly higher than LPP of DI + PBS and DI + Clen rats. There were more consistent urethral striated muscle fibers, elastin fibers in the urethra, and pelvic muscle recovery in DI + Bim rats compared with DI + PBS rats. In conclusion, bimagrumab was the most effective for increasing urethral pressure and continence by promoting injured external urethral sphincter and pelvic floor muscle recovery.

Urine Loss

Abstract Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI), according to the Committee of the International Continence Society Standards, is defined as any involuntary urine loss associated to exertion conditions. This urine loss can be called Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) and when the detrusor muscle becomes inactive Material and methods: The goal of this study was verifying intravaginal electrical stimulation effects on bladder floor mobility, pelvic floor muscles´ width, their contraction ability and the quality of life of 40 women whose age ranged from 35 to 55 and who were diagnosed with Stress Urinary Incontinence disorder. They were split into two groups: Geletro (underwent 16 perineal electrical stimulation sessions) and control group, Gc (no intervention). The variables were respectively evaluated by the following instruments: transvaginal ultrassonography (Toshiba trademark), Phenix electromyographic biofeedback and King´s Health Questionnaire. Results: The results were bladder floor mobility reduction (Δ% = -9,13%, p=0,0930), width increase on pelvic floor muscles (Δ% = 11,64%, p= 0,2924), both not significant, muscle strength increase due to biofeedback (Δ% =60,49%, p= 0,0001) and to AFA* (Δ% = 24,53%, p=0,0001), and significant decrease of all questionnaire scores: DOM 1 (Δ% = -50,00%, p = 0,000), DOM 2 (Δ% = -55,14%, p= 0,005), DOM 3 (Δ% =-74,98 %, p= 0,002), DOM 4 (Δ% = -73,87%, p= 0,002), DOM 5 (Δ% = -68,91%, p= 0,001), DOM 6 (Δ% = -85,90%, p= 0,000), DOM 7 (Δ% = -72,48%, p= 0,014), DOM 8 (Δ% =-71,88 %, p= 0,030), DOM 9Δ% =-73,29 %, p= 0,023) Conclusions: The Geletro group in comparison to the Gc which showed that intravaginal electrical stimulation improved the pelvic floor anatomically and functionally and also the quality of life of Geletro group. Stress Urinary Incontinence improvement could only be subjectively demonstrated.

Urine Leakage

Introduction: The prevalence of urinary incontinence in Portuguese women is 21.4% and has a very negative impact on quality of life including women’s sexual activity. Pelvic floor rehabilitation is the first line treatment used in stress urinary incontinence and may be a tool in the treatment of sexual dysfunction in women with urinary incontinence. The aim of this review is to ascertain whether pelvic floor rehabilitation can improve sexual function in women with stress urinary incontinence.Material and Methods: We reviewed 12 articles in PubMed using the keywords: ‘urinary incontinence’, ‘female sexual dysfunction’ and ‘pelvic floor physical therapy’.Results: Pelvic floor rehabilitation is linked to a decrease in frequency of urinary leakage episodes as well as an improvement of coital incontinence. Furthermore, sexual function evaluation scores post-treatment revealed a positive change. Higher parity, higher adherence to treatment, improvement in the strength of pelvic floor muscles, and a decrease in the frequency of urine leakage were associated with higher improvement in sexual function.Discussion: Sexual function should be considered in the approach of urinary incontinence and standard tools of evaluation are essential tools for clinical assessment and follow-up. More evidence is required to identify the role of pelvic floor rehabilitation in sexual dysfunction of Portuguese women with urinary incontinence.Conclusion: Pelvic floor rehabilitation improves sexual function of women with stress urinary incontinence not only because it decreases the episodes of urine leakage but also because it strengthens pelvic floor muscles.

Objectives. Evaluation of resting and functional bioelectrical activity of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and the synergistic muscles, depending on the orientation of the pelvis, in anterior (P1) and posterior (P2) pelvic tilt.Design. Preliminary, prospective observational study.Setting. Department and Clinic of Urology, University Hospital in Wroclaw, Poland.Participants. Thirty-two menopausal and postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence were recruited. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, sixteen women aged 55 to 70 years were enrolled in the study.Primary Outcome Measures. Evaluation of resting and functional bioelectrical activity of the pelvic floor muscles by electromyography (sEMG) and vaginal probe.Secondary Outcome Measures. Evaluation of activity of the synergistic muscles by sEMG and surface electrodes.Results. No significant differences between orientations P1 and P2 were found in functional and resting sEMG activity of the PFM. During resting and functional PFM activity, higher electrical activity in P2 than in P1 has been recorded in some of the synergistic muscles.Conclusions. This preliminary study does not provide initial evidence that pelvic tilt influences PFM activation. Although different activity of synergistic muscles occurs in various orientations of the pelvic tilt, it does not have to affect the sEMG activity of the PFM.
