Objective:
Stress-type and urgency-type urinary incontinence are seen together in mixed-type urinary incontinence. Treatment is usually chosen according to the predominant type of incontinence. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of mirabegron and duloxetine combination in the treatment of mixed-type urinary incontinence.
Methods:
The data of 88 mixed-type urinary incontinence patients who applied to the urology outpatient clinic between January 2018 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. We applied mirabegron and duloxetine treatment to the patients. The International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, Overactive bladder symptom score questionnaire and daily pad count were statistically evaluated before and after the treatment.
Results:
Statistically significant improvements were observed using the questionnaire forms and decreased daily pad usage after the eight-week treatment (p<0.001). Based on the clinical global effect scale, 62.50% of patients had a partial or complete response to treatment and also the use of daily pads were decreased from 3.7-0.89 on an average.
Conclusion:
Combination use of mirabegron and duloxetine in the treatment of mixed-type urinary incontinence improved symptom scores and decreased pad usage.
