[Clinico-urodynamic correlation in hormone-dependent events in urinary incontinence]
1Servicio de Urología, Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico Hermanos Ameijeiras, La Habana, Cuba.
Abstract:
The present study was conducted to determine the correlation between the hormone-dependent events and the manifestation or exacerbation of symptoms of urinary incontinence in 117 incontinent female patients. This finding was almost exclusively observed in patients with sphincter incompetence. Patients who were clinically influenced had a higher flow rate and profile changes, whereas pregnancy and menstruation correlated with the predominant changes. This subjective clinical finding may be useful in predicting a more limited continence and may therefore indicate the postoperative prognosis.

The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating urine...
