Stress Urinary Incontinence in
Women
(UR008)
Introduction
Urinary incontinence
(UI), defined as the involuntary loss of urine, is a significan't health
and social problem for women of all ages. UI affects approximately 13 million
Americans (about
10-35% of adults) and at least half of the 1.5 million nursing home residents.
Besides the inconvenience, embarrassment, and expense of dealing with UI,
there are far more serious complications including infections, falls, and
even institutionalization.
UI is not a normal consequence of aging and can be successfully treated
80% of the time.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affects women of all ages and is the
most common type of UI seen in young adult women. SUI occurs when urine
leaks due to increased pressure in the abdomen causing downward pressure
on the bladder in the setting of a weakened (incompetent) urethral sphincter.
Too often, women are too embarrassed to report the problem to their health
care provider, or they figure that incontinence is an inevitable part of
bearing children and growing older. UI can be treated successfully, thus
preventing a great deal of expense, inconvenience, embarrassment, and even
more serious complications. There are several behavioral and pharmacologic,
as well as surgical interventions.
