Facts:Facts:
• “ it is the involuntary loss of urine that is objectively demonstrable and is a social or hygienic problem”.
• It is very common among women of all ages– 15-44 5%– 45-64 10%– >65 20%– > 40% in institutionalized women
– Up to 30% post vaginal delivery,,,,,, temporarily.

• Female urethra 3-4 cm in length
Anatomy:
Innervation:
Parasympathetic. S2-4. stimulation of pelvic parasymp. Or adm of cholinergic drugs…. Bladder contract… anticholinergic drugs reduce the bladder pressure and increase the capacity
Sympathetic. T10-L2. β-fibers in detrusor muscle.. Relax urethra and detrusor muscle. Α-fiber in urethra.. Stimulation contracts the bladder neck and urethra and relaxes the detrusor

• Urethral causes:– Urethral sphincter incompetence{ genuine stress inc.}– Detrusor instability
• Neuropathic• Non-neuropathic
– Retention with overflow– Congenital– Misc
• Extra urethral:– Congenital– Fistula

• “ Involuntary loss of urine when the bladder pressure exceeds the maximum urethral pressure in the absence of any detrusor contraction”.
• Causes:– Abnormal descent of bladder neck and proximal urethra– Intraurethral pressure at rest lower than the intravesical,
scarring– Laxity of sub-urethral support
• Aetiology:– Damage to the nerve supplying pelvic floor and urethral
sphincter– Menopause– Congenital– Chronic causes, obesity, COPD,…..

performing activities
Which raise the intra-abdominal pressure
Urgency, frequency and urge incontinence

• Examination: – General, chest, abdomen,
pelvic…… mass– Pelvic:

• Pathophysiology is poorly understood
• Poor toilet habit training and psychological factors have a role
• Idiopathic D.I. Is the commonest
• Possible causes: – Continence surgery, – outflow obstruction– Smoking and excessive tea and coffee intake

• History and examination may not be conclusive• The aim of urodynamic inv. Is to provide accurate DX
of disorders of micturition and investigating the L.U.T. and pelvic floor function

4. Surgery..Treatment of choice….. Aims to 1) restores the urethra and
bladder neck to zone of intra-abdominal pressure 2) increase urethral resistance

– Abdominal. Colposuspention. 80% 5 years f.u.
– Sling operation– TVT

When the defect is in the sphincteric mechanism producing a low resistance and poor functioning urethra….. Then:
– Artificial sphincter– Periurethral bulking:
• Collagen• macroplastiqua

• Urinary incontinence is 20-30% prevalent among females• GSI & DI are the commonest• Physiotherapy is effective in mild to moderate GSI• Bladder training and Anticolenergics are most appropriate
treatment for DI
• UTI must always be excluded before any fancy investigation or treatment started,
• No incontinence surgery without urodynamic studies• Surgery for incontinence should be the patient’s decision
depending on how severe and findings
