Prevalência de sintomas urinários no terceiro trimestre da gestação

Abstract

In the population under study pregnancy per se was associated to a high prevalence of irritative bladder symptoms.

Symptoms of the lower urinary tract in pregnant women in prenatal care.

“…This ranks the severity of symptoms in four categories:. Mild (1-5 points), moderate (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12), severe (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18), and severe (19)(20)(21). (11) In this study the overall average ICIQ-SF score was 9.9 points.…”

“…(23) Also observed the symptoms of urinary urgency in about 60% of pregnant women, and 23.3% had the symptom of urge incontinence. Scarpa et al (19) found the urgency in about 47% of pregnant women were multiparous and 39% of gilts. Urge incontinence was present in 19% of multiparous and 22% of gilts.…”

“…Scarpa et al (19) evaluated 340 women and showed a prevalence of urinary symptoms in about 94% of pregnant women, which were in the third trimester of pregnancy.…”

Prevalence of Urinary Incontinence in a Random Sample of the Urban Population of Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais, Brazil

“…There are few population studies in Brazil (4) , using different methodologies and in general addressing specific groups such as women during pregnancy or in distinct periods postpartum (10) , elderly individuals (11) or institutionalized chronic patients (12) , and patients in the postoperative phase of radical retropubic prostatectomy; this last group has an incidence of 62% of UI in 13 studied patients (13) . These facts confirm the need and relevance of this study (13) .…”

Existe alteração na função dos músculos do assoalho pélvico e abdominais de primigestas no segundo e terceiro trimestre gestacional?

“…In addition, hormonal changes, occurred mainly from the second trimester of pregnancy, may cause changes in the connective tissues, influencing the support and continence mechanism 1 . As a result of these changes, there may be a reduction in support of the bladder neck and proximal urethra, predisposing pelvic floor (PF) dysfunctions 2,3 , which may become more prevalent as the pregnancy progresses and are associated with the pressure exerted by the fetal head on the bladder 4,5 . O'Boyle et al 6 observed a significant increase in urethral mobility in primigravidae, suggesting that physiological changes occur in the pelvic floor (PF) during pregnancy.…”
