Urinary incontinence is defined as "Involuntary loss of urine, such as leaking of urine. It is a symptom of various underlying pathological processes."[1]

Classification

Urge incontinence

Stress incontinence

Etiology/Cause

Incontinence is more common after a hysterectomy.[2]

Diagnosis

A systematic review by the Rational Clinical Examination has reviewed hot to diagnose the types of incontinence and concluded that the "most helpful component for diagnosing urge urinary incontinence is a history of urine loss associated with urgency. A bladder stress test may be helpful for diagnosing stress urinary incontinence."[3] The bladder stress test is "performed while the woman is supine or standing, involves observation for urine loss immediately on coughing or with a Valsalva maneuver".[3]

Treatment

Exercises

Kegel exercises to strengthen or retrain pelvic floor muscles and sphincter muscles can reduce stress leakage.[4] Patients younger than 60 years old benefit the most.[4] The patient should do at least 24 daily contractions for at least 6 weeks.[4] A systematic review concluded "pelvic floor muscle training would resolve 490 cases of stress urinary incontinence."[5]


Medications

Urge incontinence

For urge incontinence (detrusor instability) anticholinergic drugs such as oxybutynin and tolterodine are effective according to a systematic review.[6]A randomized controlled trial found that trospium is effective.[7]

Stress incontinence

For stress incontinence, phenylpropanolamine 50 mg twice daily by mouth can help.[8][9][10]

Topical estrogen can help[11] and can be combined with phenylpropanolamine[10].

Surgery

Among surgical options, a randomized controlled trial found greater benefit, but more complications from Fascial sling surgery as compared to Burch colposuspension.[12]
