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

Clinical practice guidelines address the treatment of males. [4]

The treatment of women has been reviewed.[5][6]

Prompted voiding

Prompted voiding helps according to a systematic review.[7]

Exercises

Kegel exercises to strengthen or retrain pelvic floor muscles and sphincter muscles can reduce stress leakage.[8] Patients younger than 60 years old benefit the most.[8] The patient should do at least 24 daily contractions for at least 6 weeks.[8] A systematic review concluded "pelvic floor muscle training would resolve 490 cases of stress urinary incontinence."[9]

Weight loss

Weight loss was helpful in a randomized controlled trial.[10]

Medications

Urge incontinence

For urge incontinence (detrusor instability) anticholinergic drugs such as oxybutynin and tolterodine are effective according to recent systematic reviews. Tolterodine has low drug toxicity.[11][12]

A randomized controlled trial of both men and women found that the anticholinergic medication trospium is effective.[13]

A randomized controlled trial in men of behavioral therapy versus the anticholinergic medication oxybutynin (no control group) found similar effectiveness.[14] The behavioral treatment included:

  • Pelvic floor muscle training
    • "contract and relax pelvic floor muscles while keeping abdominal muscles relaxed"
    • "contract their muscles for 2- to 10-second periods separated by 2 to 10 seconds of relaxation.
      • "Initial contraction duration was based on the ability demonstrated by each participant in the training session.”
    • "Daily practice included 45 exercises”
      • "divided into manageable sessions”
      • "usually three sessions of 15 exercises each”
    • "Duration was increased gradually to a maximum of 10 seconds"
  • Urge suppression techniques when awakened at night with the urge to void
    • "Remain still in bed and attempt to diminish the urgency with repeated pelvic floor muscle contractions.
    • "If successful, they could go back to sleep; if not, they could void and return to bed."
  • Fluid restriction (after 6:00 p.m.)

Stress incontinence

For stress incontinence, phenylpropanolamine 50 mg twice daily by mouth can help.[15][16][17]

Topical estrogen can help[18] and can be combined with phenylpropanolamine[17].

Surgery

Among surgical options, a randomized controlled trial found greater benefit, but more complications from Fascial sling surgery as compared to Burch colposuspension.[19]
