Back to Publications Are you having trouble making it to the bathroom? Are you frequently forced to interrupt your exercise activities, or even a good movie, to make a special trip to the ladies' room? Isn't it time you looked into the causes of your - yes - incontinence? ou are not alone in your problem. Urinary incontinence is experienced by many women over the age of 40, especially after childbirth. Women today are speaking more frankly with their gynecologists about urinary incontinence - a real "quality of life issue." Valerie M. Cucco, DO, an experienced urogynecologist with Winthrop's Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology, says, "It is rare that a woman will present urinary incontinence as a chief complaint - perhaps because it is neither life-threatening, nor an emergency, or because the patient is too embarrassed. However, the more information the patient provides about her urinary incontinence symptoms, the more likely the physician is to get to the root of the problem, and tailor effective individualized therapies." Treatment options range from behavioral therapy to surgery.

Dr. Donohue Surgery won't help her incontinence Dear Dr. Donohue: At age 35, I had my uterus removed and my bladder suspended. Now at 51, I am having great difficulty with urge incontinence. I consulted a urologist, who found my bladder had dropped. He noted that no urine leaked when I coughed. He put me on Ditropan, which greatly improved matters, but I developed heartburn and had to stop taking it. The urologist says surgery is not the answer. Wouldn't lifting the bladder facilitate urine control? F.R. We're talking about two different causes of urine leakage urge incontinence and stress incontinence. Urge incontinence is urine leakage due to a sudden contraction of the muscular bladder walls. The contraction is so abrupt and so forceful that it is impossible to hold back urine even with a mad dash to the bathroom. Often urge incontinence occurs with only a small volume of urine in the bladder. Surgery does not correct urge incontinence. Begin a bladder training program. For three consecutive days, go to the bathroom every two hours, whether you feel the need or not. On the fourth day, add a half-hour to your schedule, visiting the bathroom every two-and-a-half hours.

Greenbelt - Laurel - Bowie, Maryland wmfurology.com Home Site Map Index Prostate Cancer ... Stress Incontinence Incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine. Babies are incontinent until their nervous systems mature and they learn to control their urine flow. Incontinence can occur to males and females, old and young. It can be mild or severe. It usually can be treated. There are several different categories of incontinence: stress incontinence, urge incontinence, mixed incontinence and total incontinence. Causes of Incontinence involve several different components: the pressure in the bladder, the nerves that activate and relax the bladder and the sphincter, (valve), muscles, and the sphincters themselves. Dysfunction at one or several of the points results in the different types of incontinence. Stress Incontinence occurs associated with raising the pressure inside the abdomen by coughing, sneezing, laughing, straining or lifting, sudden movements. It is very common in women, and sometimes occurs in men after prostate surgery. Stress incontinence is caused by a decrease or loss in the sphincter, or control valve in the urethra and bladder neck. Urge Incontinence is present when there are sudden urges to urinate that the patient cannot control, the "mad dash syndrome". It can be related to changes in position, such as standing up, which is known as

74. AFUD Family Urology - Collagen Injection Treatment For Adult Incontinence tends to appear in the late 60's and 70's, or after one or more previous surgicalrepairs for leakage associated with a fallen bladder (stress incontinence http://www.afud.org/membership/w97s2-2.html

Collagen Injection Treatment for Adult Incontinence by Jacek L. Mostwin, M.D., DPhil Causes Other patients may suffer from incontinence due to damage or weakness of the urethral sphincters. If the bladder is working properly, weakness or injury of the muscle surrounding the urethra may be the cause of leakage. In men, this is almost always the result of a prostatectomy: simple prostatectomy or transurethral prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement) or radical prostatectomy for removal of cancer. In women, this may be the result of post-menopausal thinning and weakening of the urethra that tends to appear in the late 60's and 70's, or after one or more previous surgical repairs for leakage associated with a fallen bladder (stress incontinence associated with cystocele). This group of patients, with weakness or damage of the urethral sphincters, is the group that can be helped by injectable collagen. In order to diagnose whether the bladder or the sphincters are causing the urine leakage the patient must be examined by a knowledgeable urologist or gynecologist, preferably someone who is familiar with neurourology or urogynecology and urodynamic testing. Experts in urinary incontinence usually belong to a professional organization within the field. When you're searching for someone to help with your problem, ask whether they are a member of the International Continence Society, The Urodynamics Society, or the American Urogynecological Society. In addition to reviewing your story and performing an examination, they will probably recommend some specialized examinations. Most private and government insurance carriers will require that you undergo these tests before agreeing to pay for the collagen itself, which is very expensive.

Patient Education Local Experts Keith H. Wharton, M.D. Urinary Incontinence in Women Questions/Comments How the Urinary Bladder Works If you are like most women, you take your urinary system for granted - until it causes problems. Most of us have enough going on in our busy lives and don't have time to worry constantly about how our bladder is doing. Actually, your urinary system is really an amazing piece of work. Every time you eat, your body absorbs fluids into your blood stream. Every day, the billions of cells in your body generate waste products that are toxic and must be removed. Your two kidneys constantly filter your bloodstream to remove excess fluid and toxins from your body. This excess fluid, or urine, is transported down each ureter (YOUR-eh-tur) and stored in your urinary bladder (not to be confused with your gall bladder) until it is socially acceptable to empty. The bladder is a balloon-shaped muscular organ that changes shape as it fills with urine. Located at the bottom of the bladder, there is a valve called the urethral sphincter (SPHINK-ter). It is like a miniature blood pressure cuff wrapped around the

Incontinence Incontinence is defined as the involuntary loss of urine. Incontinence affects both sexes and may be due to a number of different causes. Causes of female incontinence include a "fallen" bladder (stress incontinence), bladder instability (the frequency-urgency syndrome) and neurologic causes such as strokes or multiple sclerosis. Men may experience urinary incontinence for the preceding reasons but may also experience leakage following surgery of the prostate or after treatment for prostate cancer. In some cases the cause of the patient’s leakage will not be obvious from the history and physical examination and in such cases an evaluation of bladder function with a urodynamic study will be necessary. Urodynamics are performed on an outpatient basis in either the physician’s office or in a urodynamics lab. The study is performed by placing a small catheter in the bladder and filling the bladder with sterile water. During this filling phase the pressure in the bladder is measured to determine if the bladder capacity is normal. One can also determine whether or not there are any uninhibited contractions or spasms during this phase as evidenced by "spikes" in bladder pressure. Additional information regarding muscle and sphincter tone can be obtained by recording electrical activity in the muscles of the pelvic floor. More complex cases of incontinence may require the use of simultaneous fluoroscopy to make a diagnosis.
