Urinary incontinence (UI) is a significant health problem leading to physical, psychological and social discomfort, especially in elderly women. A study of prevalence and classification of UI in the Roraima state was taken up to aid in formulation of healthcare policy and improvement of patient referral facilities. A retrospective study of 765 female patients who have undergone urodynamic examination between November 2013 and December 2014 has been conducted. Subjects were classified in to diagnostic classes: normal, stress incontinence, mixed incontinence, sensitive emergency, overactive bladder, and others. The overall prevalence of UI was 58.4%. The highest prevalence was observed in the menopausal age group (45- 49 years). Among the etiologies of UI, stress incontinence ranked highest at 30.9%, followed by overactive bladder at 6.9%. In the 25-55 years age group, stress incontinence was predominant (50-63%), while overactive bladder became significant (14-44%) in later years. The prevalence of UI in women in the state of Roraima, was high, in line with its prevalence in Brazil, as well as other western countries.

Urinary incontinence falls into two broad categories: stress incontinence and urge incontinence. Stress urinary incontinence occurs when urethral closure pressure cannot increase sufficiently to compensate for a sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure, as from a cough or Valsalva maneuver. Urge urinary incontinence occurs when an unintended bladder contraction creates an insuppressible urge to void, leading to urinary leakage. When women have signs and/or symptoms of both stress and urge incontinence, it is referred to as mixed urinary incontinence. Overactive bladder syndrome is defined by the Standardization Subcommittee of the International Continence Society (ICS) as urinary urgency, with or without urge incontinence and usually with frequency and nocturia. Nocturia, which is often associated with urinary frequency, is defined as a need to urinate that awakens the person during the night. This chapter discusses the epidemiology and physiology of urinary incontinence and overactive bladder syndrome in women, as well as diagnosis and treatment. Tables list foods and beverages that may cause urinary frequency and urgency; features of urge incontinence, stress incontinence, and mixed incontinence; American Urologic Association (AUA) guidelines regarding level of evidence and indications for adult urodynamics; and currently available antimuscarinic drugs and their dosages, selectivity, efficacy, and side effects. Figures depict the journal of someone with mixed incontinence, a typical urodynamics suite, a urodynamic study of someone with detrusor overactivity, incontinence pessaries, and transobturator and retropubic slings. This review contains 5 figures, 5 tables, and 44 references.

Objective: The objectives of the study were to find out the prevalence of urinary incontinencein women. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on five hundred one (501)women older than 18 years of age who were admitted in department of obstetrics andgynaecology of Shaheed Suhrawardi Medical College and Hospital from April to December2009, answered a questionnaire about urinary incontinence. They were grouped accordingto presence or absence of urinary incontinence (incontinent and continent) and type ofincontinence present (urge, stress and mixed). Results: Urinary incontinence was found in 104(20.8%) women, out of which 25 (24%)suffered from stress incontinence only, 21 (20.2%) suffered from urge incontinence and58(55.8%) suffered mixed incontinence. Conclusions: One in five women older than 18 years of age suffer from one or other formof urinary Incontinence. Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2018; Vol. 33(1) : 59-62

Uterine Myomas

To study the prevalence and risk factors of the overactive bladder, urinary incontinence and other lower tract urinary symptoms in patients with uterine myomas, female patients with established diagnosis of the uterine myomas presenting to gynecology clinic were invited to answer a self-administered questionnaire, which included questions on evidence of lower urinary tract symptoms [modified Overactive Bladder-Validated 8-question Screener (OAB-V8)]. Demographic data, relevant medical and surgical history, and pelvic ultrasound findings were reviewed from the patients charts. Statistical significance of relationship between OAB, stress incontinence and urge incontinence in relation to body mass index (BMI), uterine volume and size of dominant myoma were analyzed using 2-taild exact Fisher test and Wilcoxon test. Ninty-eight patients (28 to 81 years) completed the questionnaire over a period of 3 months. The majority were premenopausal and had detectable myomas on ultrasound. OAB was present in 47.9% women. No significant statistical relation between size and volume of the uterus and overactive bladder, urge incontinence, stress incontinence and mixed incontinence was noted. Observation of OAB subtypes with urge and stress incontinence in premenopausal patients with uterine myomas was statistically significant in comparison with premenopausal women studied (60.8% <em>vs</em> 15.3 and 63% <em>vs</em> 6.8, respectively; P&lt;0.001). Overall prevalence of OAB was similar in both groups. Our study showed the higher prevalence of overactive bladder than in the general population, however overall OAB prevalence related to fibroids did not show statistical significance. OAB-stress incontinence and OABurge incontinence subtypes were associated with uterine myomas.

Before And After

The prevalence of urinary incontinence is around 20% of healthy middle-aged women. Incontinence has a negative impact on quality of life and sexuality. From August 2002 to January 2004, 30 patients (mean age 43 years) with stress urinary incontinence (59%) overactive bladder (15%0) and mixed incontinence (26%) answered the ICIQSF (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire &ndash; Short From) and FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index) questionnaires before and after treatment. The follow up ranged from 12 to 53 months. Mean ICIQ score was 17 and 7 before and after treatment respectively (p&lt; 0,001). Overactive bladder showed the worst scores in all domains. The patients underwent surgery to increase desire (p=0,02), satisfaction (p=0,05) and t otal score (p=0,02). In 13 patients the ICIQ score did not increase: desire (p=0,01), satisfaction (p=0,05) and total score (p=0,01). Urinary incontinence significantly affects the quality of life. A sexuality evaluation in incontinence patients is recommended.

The primary symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) include urinary urgency and frequency, with or without urge incontinence. OAB is urodynamically characterised by involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscles of the bladder. Despite the growing awareness of OAB as a chronic medical condition, little is known about the disease&rsquo;s economic burden. Urodynamic diagnoses of detrusor overactivity, mixed incontinence, and stress incontinence with OAB are associated with significantly worse incontinence related bother and health related quality of life (QL) compared to those with stress incontinence without OAB [1,2,3].

Major Clinical Problem

Urinary incontinence is a major clinical problem and a significant cause of disability and dependency in older adults. Overall, the prevalence of urinary incontinence approaches 55% among women aged over 55 years. The past few years have seen significant advances in the pharmacotherapy of overactive bladder and stress incontinence. The review examines the evidence regarding their benefits and side-effects.
