Exercises in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) cover Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises (PFME), also known in literature as Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) or Kegel exercises; isometric exercises, exercises of the abdominal and gluteal muscles and of the adductor of thigh, respiratory exercises carried out through the abdominal tract, exercises in water. In persons with urinary incontinence, the interaction between the pelvic floor muscles and the transverse abdominal muscle is impaired, suggesting a significant role of this muscle in urinary continence. Consequently, a moderate training, e.g. including exercises of Pilates method, may be part of the therapy. Stress urinary incontinence is a frequent occurrence among women practising competitive sport. In the review article we have presented the incidence of stress urinary incontinence in sportswomen, risk factors and physiotherapeutic treatment. We have paid specific attention to the prevention of stress urinary incontinence in female athletes.

Electrical Stimulation for Urinary Incontinence in Women: A Systematic Review

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Electrical stimulation is commonly recommended to treat urinary incontinence in women. It includes several techniques that can be used to improve stress, urge, and mixed symptoms. However, the magnitude of the alleged benefits is not completely established. Objectives: To determine the effects of electrical stimulation in women with symptoms or urodynamic diagnoses of stress, urge, and mixed incontinence. Search Strategy: Our review included articles published between January 1980 and January 2012. We used the search terms "urinary incontinence", "electrical stimulation", "intravaginal", "tibial nerve" and "neuromodulation" for studies including female patients. Selection Criteria: We evaluated randomized trials that included electrical stimulation in at least one arm of the trial, to treat women with urinary incontinence. Data Collection and Analysis: Two reviewers independently assessed the data from the trials, for inclusion or exclusion, and methodological analysis. Main Results: A total of 30 randomized clinical trials were included. Most of the trials involved intravaginal electrical stimulation. Intravaginal electrical stimulation showed effectiveness in treating urge urinary incontinence, but reported contradictory data regarding stress and mixed incontinence. Tibial-nerve stimulation showed promising results in randomized trials with a short follow-up period. Sacral-nerve stimulation yielded interesting results in refractory patients. Conclusions: Tibial-nerve and intravaginal stimulation have shown effectiveness in treating urge urinary incontinence. Sacral-nerve stimulation provided benefits in refractory cases. Presently available data provide no support for the use of intravaginal electrical stimulation to treat stress urinary incontinence in women. Further randomized trials are necessary to determine the magnitude of benefits, with long-term follow-up, and the effectiveness of other electrical-stimulation therapies.

“…8 Diversas pesquisas já evidenciam que o tratamento fisioterapêutico é de grande importância e demonstra bons resultados no manejo da IU, sendo recomendado pela Sociedade Internacional de Continência como primeira opção de escolha, por apresentar menor prevalência de reações adversas e ter como vantagens o baixo custo, além de poder em muitos casos evitar um procedimento cirúrgico. 8,9 Com base no exposto, e devido à relevância para os profissionais de saúde e para as pacientes de se mensurar o impacto da IU no bem-estar social do indivíduo, o objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalência de IU em idosas institucionalizadas e verificar sua influência na qualidade de vida. O instrumento também possui escala de sintomas, composta pelos itens: aumento da frequência urinária, noctúria, urgência, hiperreflexia vesical, IUE, enurese noturna, incontinência no intercurso sexual, infecções urinárias e dor na bexiga.…”

ResumoA incontinência urinária (IU) é definida como qualquer perda involuntária de urina. Acomete mulheres de várias faixas etárias e apresenta alta incidência em idosas, afetando de forma significativa a qualidade de vida. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalência de IU em idosas institucionalizadas e verificar sua influência na qualidade de vida. A amostra foi composta por 40 idosas institucionalizadas dos municípios de Petrolina e Juazeiro que tinham idade igual ou superior a 60 anos. Inicialmente, foram coletadas informações sociodemográficas, ginecológicas e sobre a presença de IU. Em seguida, as idosas que relataram perda de urina responderam ao questionário específico King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ). A análise de dados foi feita por meio de estatística descritiva. A presença de IU foi referida por 47,50% das idosas. O domínio do KHQ que sofreu maior interferência na qualidade de vida foi o de percepção de saúde com 51,31%; nos outros domínios, o impacto da IU foi considerado baixo, mas na escala de sintomas as idosas relataram que a IU afeta mais ou menos ou muito sua vida. Foi possível concluir que é elevada a prevalência de IU em idosas institucionalizadas, e observar que muitas vezes essas mulheres convivem com estes sintomas como algo intrínseco ao envelhecimento, não percebendo o quanto afetam sua qualidade de vida. AbstractUrinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary loss of urine. It affects women of all ages and has high incidence in elderly women, significantly affecting the quality of life. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of UI in institutionalized elderly women and verify their influence on the quality of life. The sample consisted of 40 institutionalized elderly women in the municipalities of Petrolina and Juazeiro who
