Stress Incontinence

Pharmacotherapy in Stress Urinary Incontinence; A Literature Review.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a commonly observed condition in females, as well as in males who have undergone prostatectomy. Despite the significant progress made in surgical techniques, pharmacotherapy has not yielded substantial outcomes within the clinical domain.

One and five-year efficacy of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) abbrevo and TVT-obturator in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence: a retrospective study.

Surgical interventions are more effective than nonsurgical approaches in providing a cure for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In this study, we aimed to assess the benefits of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) abbrevo by comparing its efficacy and complications to those of TVT obturator.

The impact of pregnancy and childbirth on stress urinary incontinence in women previously submitted to mid-urethral sling: A systematic review and metanalysis.

There is no guideline or clinical consensus concerning the mid-urethral sling (MUS) operation for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and future pregnancies. The aim of this systematic review and metanalysis is to evaluate the impact of pregnancy and of delivery on SUI in women who previously sustained a MUS surgery.

Comparison of Low-Energy Radiofrequency Thermal Vaginal Therapy with Sham Treatment for Stress Urinary Incontinence in Postmenopausal Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Low-energy radiofrequency (RF) thermal vaginal therapy for vaginal laxity and the genitourinary syndrome of menopause denatures collagen fibrils in the endopelvic fascia; fiber tightening during healing may stabilize the urethra and bladder neck, thereby resolving female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), especially in postmenopausal women.

Correlation between the female pelvic floor biomechanical parameters and the severity of stress urinary incontinence.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common condition that requires proper evaluation to select a personalized therapy. Vaginal Tactile Imaging (VTI) is a novel method to assess the biomechanical parameters of the pelvic floor.

Midurethral Sling Mesh Exposure Confers a High Risk of Persistent Stress Urinary Incontinence.

The objective was to investigate the relationship between mesh exposure and persistent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) post-midurethral sling (MUS) surgery.

Extensive data collection including patient demographics, obstetric history, existing medical conditions, previous surgeries, and surgical outcomes, encompassing both perioperative and postoperative complications.

Managing female stress urinary incontinence in a post mesh era: What to do and when to refer.

Urinary incontinence is a common presentation in general practice and can significantly affect a patient's quality of life. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined by the International Continence Society as 'the complaint of any involuntary loss of urine on effort or physical exertion (eg sporting activities), or on sneezing or coughing'.

Investigation of the quality and health literacy demand of online information on pelvic floor exercises to reduce stress urinary incontinence.

Many women are embarrassed to discuss pelvic floor exercises with health professionals during pregnancy; instead they search the internet for information on pelvic floor exercises.

This project investigated the quality and health literacy demand in terms of readability, understandability and actionability of information available on the internet relating to pelvic floor exercises.

Innovative decision making tools using discrete mathematics for stress urinary incontinence treatment.

In this study, we applied graph theory to clinical decision-making for Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) treatment. Utilizing discrete mathematics, we developed a system to visually understand the shortest path to the desired treatment outcomes by considering various patient variables.

Laser and Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Urinary Incontinence: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is considered the first option as a conservative treatment for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, there is still debate whether energy-based devices are effective for treating SUI.
