[First experience with flavoxat in bladder - conditioned types of incontinence in gynaecology (author's transl)]

40 gynecological patients with motoric and sensoric urge incontinence were treated with the spasmolytic substance Flavoxat. Before treatment and after 4 weeks clinical and urodynamic evaluation were carried out. The results show that 65% of the patients improved under Flavoxat treatment. Incontinence was slightly improved in one third of the patients, in another third it was markedly improved or cured. An increased bladder capacity in the standing position and a decreased frequency of detrusor contractions was found in the urodynamic investigations. The residual urine remained constant.
