Urinary incontinence affects millions of women, with stress and urge types being most common. Conservative and surgical treatments, including pelvic floor training and medication, offer effective management options.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Urinary incontinence (UI) affects millions of women, with stress and urge incontinence being clinically significant.
  • Conservative and surgical interventions are key to managing UI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of current therapeutic strategies for stress and urge urinary incontinence.
  • To highlight the role of conservative and surgical options in managing UI.

Main Methods:

  • Review of conservative therapies for stress incontinence: pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with vaginal cones, electrical stimulation, biofeedback.
  • Overview of devices: incontinence tampons, urethral pessaries.
  • Description of pharmacological and surgical options: sphincter-improving medication, tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) insertion.

  • Summary of treatments for urge incontinence: anticholinergics, local estrogens, low-frequency electrical stimulation, phytotherapeutics.

    • Main Results:

    • PFMT is a cornerstone of conservative stress incontinence therapy.
    • Medication improving urethral sphincter closure and TVT insertion are established treatments for stress incontinence.
    • Anticholinergics are the primary medical treatment for urge incontinence, with supportive therapies available.

    Conclusions:

    • A range of effective conservative, pharmacological, and surgical treatments exist for female urinary incontinence.
    • Treatment choice depends on the type and severity of incontinence, with PFMT and medication being central.
    • Further research may refine the use of supportive therapies like local estrogens and phytotherapeutics.
