Types of incontinence Stress UI - involuntary urine leakage on effort or exertion or on sneezing or coughing. Incompetent sphincter +/- Prolapse Urgency UI - involuntary urine leakage accompanied or immediately preceded by urgency Infection, neurological disorders Mixed UI – both! Overactive bladder (OAB) – frequency and nocturia +/- leakage Often detrusor overactivity
Basic approach History taking (incl. obstetric) Urine testing Assessment of pelvic floor muscles Assessment of prolapse Bladder diaries Rule out – UTI or Signs of malignancy
Urgent referral Microscopic haematuria if aged 50+ Visible haematuria Recurrent or persisting UTI with haematuria if aged 40+ Pelvic mass
1st line - Lifestyle Caffeine, Fluids Weight (BMI 30+) Pelvic floor At least 8 contractions 3 times per day over 3 months
Pharmacological treatment Works best in OAB, urge & mixed (not stress…) Antimuscarinic - oxybutynin - not for frail, older women tolterodine darifenacin Note – Regurin / Trospium Chloride not on list…. Side effects - dry mouth, dry eyes, constipation and blurred vision
