A incontinência urinária é definida como qualquer perda urinária involuntária e constitui um problema social e higiênico. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a eficácia de tratamento fisioterapêutico na reeducação da musculatura do assoalho pélvico de mulheres com incontinência urinária por meio da cinesioterapia versus eletroestimulação. Trata-se de estudo quase experimental realizado na clínica FisioUNISC entre outubro de 2007 e maio de 2008. O estudo avaliou a força de contração da musculatura perineal em 36 mulheres por intermédio do perineômetro digital, do teste do absorvente e do questionário de qualidade de vida - King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ). A terapêutica foi constituída de dois grupos distintos: o primeiro realizava a cinesioterapia; o segundo, a eletroestimulação. Cada grupo concretizou 20 sessões de tratamento, realizado três vezes por semana. Mediante o teste do absorvente, constatou-se a redução na perda de urina e o consecutivo progresso da força de contração vaginal nos dois grupos investigados, com a cinesioterapia exprimindo melhor resultado. O KHQ evidenciou resultados similares, com melhora na pontuação para os dois grupos, destacando maior pontuação no grupo da cinesioterapia. Os resultados mostraram melhora do quadro de incontinência urinária com os dois tratamentos, contudo a cinesioterapia se mostrou a opção mais efetiva.

Introduction: Stress urinary incontinence affects a significant number of women and causes great loss of Quality of Life (QoL). Its prevalence varies from 15 to 41.5%. Objective: To assess the prevalence of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) in women living in a rural community in Amapá, the main risk factors and quality of life assessment using a standardized questionnaire. Methodology: A screening questionnaire was applied to 235 women residing in Igarapé da Fortaleza, in the city of Macapá, in 2015. Patients with SUI complaints were submitted to the King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ) questionnaire. For statistical processing, BioEstat software version 5.3 was used. Results: The prevalence of SUI was 28.9% (68 women). A significant age difference was found between women with SUI (44.2) and without SUI (37.9 ± 12.5 years). Childbirth, birth interval, smoking and Body Mass Index (BMI) showed to be statistically significant differences between groups. Variables such as number of deliveries, birth weight, menopause, education and race did not express a real difference. Conclusion: The prevalence of SUI was 28.9%. There was a significant difference in the group with SUI in terms of age, smoking, parity, interval between births and BMI. In assessing QoL in patients with SUI using KHQ, we found the worst results in general health perception, impact of incontinence, personal relationships, sleep/mood and severity of symptoms.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pelvic floor muscles training in elite female volleyball athletes and whether it is an effective therapy for stress urinary incontinence. Fourteen athletes, both continent and incontinent, between 18 and 30 years of age, were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group received a protocol for pelvic floor muscle training for 4 months. This consisted of three phases: awareness/stabilization, strength training and power. The control group was not subject to any intervention during the same period. Measures were collected at the initial and final phase for both groups. Maximum voluntary contractions were evaluated with a perineometer, involuntary urine loss with a Pad test and quality of life with the King’s Health Questionnaire. Baseline sociodemographic and anthropometric characteristics were not significantly different. Comparing the two groups, the experimental group improved maximum voluntary pelvic contractions (p<0.001) and reduced urine loss (p=0.025), indicating the existence of significant differences between groups in the variation from the initial and final phases. The percentage of urine loss decreased in the experimental group, from 71.4–42.9%, suggesting that the protocol intervention for 16 weeks may help athletes with stress urinary incontinence.
