Q

Rs for stress UI

A
  • Kegel
  • ALpha agonists: increase urethral sphincter tone
  • topical estrogen if 2/2/ atrophic vaginitis/urethritis
  • occlusive devices, pessaries

Q

What’s mechanism of overflow UI?

A
  • Destrusor hypoactive - can be neurogenic or pharmacological (anticholinergic and opioids)
  • Obstruction (like by BPH)

16
Q

What type of UI is most common in men?

A

Overflow (by BPH)

17
Q

Anticholinergic will cause…urinary retention or incontinence, and precipirate to which type of urinary incontinence?

A
  • cause destrusor underactivity -> overflow incontinence

- thus also the treatment for urge incontinence

18
Q

Rx for overflow UI

A
  • to decrease urethral sphincter tone (opposite to stress UI treatment): alpha-antagonist: tamsulosin, BPH
  • to increase bladder contractility: prochlinergics (bethanechol)
19
Q

Procholinergic drug is good for what type of UI and will worsen what type of UI?

A
  • Procholinergic: decrease urinary retention by increase destrusor tone, so good for treating overflow incontinent
  • Then can worsen urge incontinence
20
Q

Imipramine has which two properties make it a good choice for mix type UI (mixed of urge and stress)

A
  • anticholinergic: good for urge UI (dec bladder tone, hold more urine)
  • alpha-agonist: increase urethral sphincter tone -> good for stress
21
Q

In severe, refractory case of UI, what type of nerve procedure can be considered?

A
  • Sacral nerve stimulation
22
Q

Summary of treating URGE UI

A
  • Bladder training

- Oxybutynin

23
Q

Summary of treating Stress UI

A
  • Bladder training, Kegel exercises
  • Alpha agonist: Pseudoephedrine, imipramine
  • Topical estrogen if 2/2 atrophic vaginitis/urethritis
  • Pessary
24
Q

Summary of Overflow UI treatment

A
  • Bladder decompression: self-cath
  • Alpha- antagonist for BPH
  • Procholinergic can be tried, like Bethanecol, but less effective
  • Dilate or stent urethral stricture, reduc cystoceles.
25
Q

(Side) Effect of Anticholinergic

A
Hot as a hare (Hyperthermia)
Dry as a bone (Dry Skin)
Red as a beet (Flushed)
Blind as bat (Mydriasis)
Mad as a hatter (Delirium)
Full as a vaze (Urinary retention)
26
Q

A list of transient cause of UI

A
DIAPPER
D - delirium
I - infection/UTI
A - atrophic vaginitis/urethritis
P - pharm: alpha agonist (overflow), anti-cholinergic (overflow), pro-cholintergics (urge), EtOH, Caffeine
P -psychiatric
E -excess urine output - DM
R - restricted mobility
S - stool impaction
