Pelvic floor disorders Flashcards
causes of urethral incontinence
urethral sphincter incompetence
detrusor instability
retention with overflow
function
types of extraurethral urinary incontinence
congenital
fistula
types of urinary incontinence
stress
urge - over reactive bladder
mixed
overflow
incidence of USI
1/3 women over 55
1/10 will need surgery for it
risk factors for USI
women>men age obesity smoking - chronic cough kidney disease/DM
what is over reactive bladder syndrome
urgency with or without urge urinary incontinence usually with frequency and nocturne in the absence of pathological or metabolic conditions that might explain these symptoms
difference between OAB wet and OAB dry
wet is where urge incontinence is present
dry is where incontinence is absent
what is urge incontinence
proceeded by an urge to void - triggers such as running water, opening a door
what is mixed urinary incontinence
involuntary leak associated with urgency and also with exertion such as sneezing, coughing
what is happening to the bladder in OAB and UUI
and the what happens in SUI
bladder experiencing frequent involuntary contractions
bladder muscle experiences stress related contraction and support muscles unable to remain completely shut
examination
abdomen - masses, bladder
external genitalia
vaginal - prolapse, malignancy, fistula
rectal - tone, masses
what exam can be done for incontinence
standing or supine stress test - cough standing up
post void residual
urine analysis
bladder diary
treatment in OAB
lifestyle advice bladder drill pelvic floor physio drugs botulinum toxin neuromodulation reconstructive surgery
lifestyle advice in OAB
bladder retraining to increase bladder capacity and decrease frequency anti muscarinic if frequency a problem sensible fluid intake caffeine reduction weight reduction if BMI >30
physical treatments in OAB
pelvic floor muscle exercises - not as useful in urge incontinence
anti muscarinic agents when should they be given
what do they do
after lifestyle changes for OAB syndrome
reduce intra vesical pressure
increase compliance
raise volume threshold for micturition
reduce uninhibited
