[A new pathology: unstable urinary bladder (author's transl)].

J Conejero Sugrañes, C Rioja Sanz, I Villanueva Pérez

    Medicina Clinica
    |August 15, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Thirty-five percent of incontinence patients had an unstable bladder due to detrusor hyperactivity. Anticholinergics like propantheline bromide are the preferred treatment, with surgery reserved for failures.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Neurology
    • Physiology

    Context:

    • Urinary incontinence affects a significant portion of the population.
    • Detrusor hyperactivity, leading to unstable bladder, is a common cause of incontinence.
    • Comprehensive diagnostic workup is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of detrusor hyperactivity in patients with urinary incontinence.
    • To establish diagnostic criteria for unstable urinary bladder.
    • To evaluate treatment options for detrusor hyperactivity.

    Summary:

    • Thirty-five out of 100 incontinence patients presented with detrusor hyperactivity, indicating an unstable bladder.
    • Diagnosis involved urological and neurological screening, including urography, cystoureterography, cystoscopy, urine culture, and electrocystomanometry.
    • Key symptoms included urgent need to urinate, frequency, and exacerbation in cold or wet conditions. Late enuresis and cystocele were noted comorbidities.
    • Anticholinergic medication, specifically propantheline bromide, is the primary treatment of choice.
    • Surgical intervention is recommended only after conservative medical management has been exhausted.

    Impact:

    • This study highlights the prevalence of unstable bladder due to detrusor hyperactivity.
    • It emphasizes the importance of a multi-faceted diagnostic approach.
    • It reaffirms anticholinergics as the first-line therapy, guiding clinical practice and patient management.
