The urinary incontinence is a highly prevalent symptom in the adult female population. It has important psychosocial and economic connotations, and affects the quality of life of these patients. As it is an under-diagnosed problem due to patients not always consulting for it, it is very important to keep this in mind and to provide an opportunistic screening from Primary Health Care.

To determine the prevalence of Urinary Incontinence (UI) in a hospitalization unit. METHODS: Descriptive cross-sectional study, with patients in a hospitalization unit in Ferrol. The prevalence, the type of UI, the UI assessment and the impact of UI on daily life were estimated with the questionnaires: IU-4 (by sex), the severity tool ICIQ-SF and the IIQ.

Female urinary incontinence has a prevalence of up to 40%. Stress urinary incontinence is the most frequent type, about 50%. When primary management fails, it is unclear what the behavior should be.

There are very few articles comparing open radical prostatectomy (ORP) vs. laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and their functional results or urinary continence (UC), which is one of the most important objectives to pursue after oncological results.

To evaluate the association between early treatment and urodynamic improvement in pediatric and adolescent patients with neurogenic bladder.

Retrospective longitudinal and observational study (between 1990 and 2013) including patients with neurogenic bladder and myelomeningocele treated based on urodynamic results.

The use of onabotulinumtoxin A (BoNT-A) injection in male patients with detrusor overactivity (DO) after stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery has been scarcely described. Our aim was to assess results of this treatment in this specific population.

To analyse the impact of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms on the work activity of patients in Spain.

An observational, multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted with 149 urologists and 131 gynaecologists of Spain and included patients diagnosed with OAB, according to clinical judgment, who were of working age (18-65 years).

To determine the incidence, risk factors and management of SUI during and after POP surgery through a review of the available literature.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a significant sequela of prostate cancer surgery. In this article, we present the surgical technique and safety and efficacy of the adjustable transobturator male system (ATOMS®) with preattached scrotal port.

OBJECTIVE - To determine the prevalence and symptom severity of urinary incontinence (UI) in women who attend primary care gynaecological consultations, as well as the proportion of women with UI symptoms who wish to be studied and treated.
