Summary

Genuine stress incontinence at rest, a form of urinary incontinence, is common in women referred for testing. It often presents without a bladder contraction and is linked to urethral issues or reduced bladder compliance.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Urinary incontinence is a prevalent condition affecting women.
  • Urodynamic testing is crucial for diagnosing incontinence subtypes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the occurrence and characteristics of genuine stress incontinence at rest.
  • To identify associated urodynamic findings in women with this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 37 cases with incontinence at rest during urodynamic testing.
  • Evaluation of bladder volumes, detrusor activity, urethral function, and bladder compliance.

Main Results:

  • Genuine stress incontinence at rest occurred in 9.6% of multichannel cystometrograms.
  • Urine loss happened at bladder volumes from 145 ml to 800 ml.
  • Associated factors included decreased bladder compliance (30%) and decreased outlet resistance (65%).

Conclusions:

  • Genuine stress incontinence at rest is a relatively common finding in referred incontinent women.
  • This condition is frequently associated with impaired urethral function and/or decreased bladder compliance.
