Mixed urinary incontinence is a common diagnosis among women with urinary leakage and is often present in women who are unable to characterize their incontinence. Research and optimized clinical treatment of these patients is limited by the challenges in objectively defining and stratifying this population. The evaluation of these patients should follow the same general principles as any assessment of any women with incontinence; however, it is essential to define whether urge or stress incontinence is the predominant symptom. Urodynamics (UDS) may be helpful in this regard and may help predict surgical outcomes. Behavioural therapy, weight loss, and pelvic floor muscle therapy are usually appropriate initial management strategies. In postmenopausal women, vaginal estrogen can be considered, and in women with equal parts stress and urge incontinence or urge-predominant mixed incontinence, a trial of anticholinergics or beta-3 agonists is appropriate. In women with stress-predominant or equal parts stress and urge incontinence, stress incontinence surgery can be considered, with the caveat that outcomes are generally worse among women with more severe levels of urgency, success rates may not be as durable, and a significant proportion of women may need additional medical therapy.

Objective: To identify the prevalence of urinary incontinence, the distribution of the type of urinary incontinence and related risk factors in women older than 50 years. Method: This is a descriptive study with cross sectional design. Two hundred and seventy eight women older than 50 years old living in nursing home were interviewed using the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID) that has been translated and validated. The prevalence will be presented in the form of percentage; while the relationship between risk factors and the incidence or urinary incontinence will be analyzed using Chi square test or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate, and multivariate analysis. Result: Of 278 research subjects, we obtained 95 subjects (34.2%) suffering from urinary incontinence. Moreover, the distribution of the type is 67 subjects (70.5%) with mixed urinary incontinence, 17 (17.9%) with stress incontinence and 11 subjects (11.6%) with urge incontinence. Body mass index (BMI) showing overweight and obesity are not related with the prevalence of urinary incontinence (p>0.05), which may be caused by the low number of subjects with overweight and obesity. Meanwhile, factors related to urinary incontinence are age older than 60 years (OR=7.79, p=0.021), menopause 10 years (OR=5.08, p=0.004) and multiparity (OR=1.82, p=0.019). Based on multivariate analysis, the risk factor of age older than 60 years is no longer related to urinary incontinence (p>0.05). Thus it can be inferred that age older than 60 years is not a singular factor causing urinary incontinence but rather a part of a multifactorial model. Conclusion: This study shows that the prevalence of urinary incontinence in women living in nursing home is 34.2%; while the distribution of the urinary incontinence is 67 subjects (70.5%) with mixed urinary incontinence, 17 subjects with stress incontinence (17.9%) and 11 subjects (11.6%) with urge incontinence. Risk factors for urinary incontinence are menopause 10 years and multiparity.

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

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.

A retrospective study of patients of the Urogynaecological Unit in Siena is reported. Out of 228 women examined, 141 had urinary incontinence (stress incontinence 110, urge incontinence 18, mixed 13). Predisposing factors and risk factors were investigated. A parallel study in a non-selected population of women was performed by means of a questionnaire of self-evaluation for urinary incontinence. About 20% of this population had urinary incontinence to some degree, but only a small percentage of these women had already sought medical advice.

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.

– The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of biofeedback (BF) and of electrostimulation (SEF) of the perineal floor in male patients suffering from urinary incontinence. Eleven patients entered the study, five of them suffering from mixed urinary incontinence and six from pure stress incontinence. They were treated with six sittings of BF, SEF and domiciliary exercises. The results are promising. Additional monthly sittings and domiciliary SEF maintenance are advised.
