“…A similar overall prevalence of SUI of 25% was observed in a small study of women studying nursing. 13 In women aged 50–59 years of age in the current analysis, the prevalence was highest at 30%, and SUI remained at high prevalence at 26–27% in women over 60 years old. In another large study from the USA, UK and Sweden, SUI occurred at high percentages in more than 4000 female patients; SUI from laughing, sneezing and coughing occurred in 55.9% of female patients and SUI from physical activities occurred in 28.3% of patients.…”

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is common among adult women with negative effects on psychosocial well-being, mental health, and health-related quality of life. The purpose of the research is to determine if SUI in women is a factor implicated in changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in both physical and mental health domains and in work difficulties. Methods: Data of women 40 years or older from a cross-sectional, population-based, internet survey were examined post-hoc. The effect of SUI frequency on HRQoL (SF12 score), in physical and mental health domains, was assessed. In addition, multivariate and univariate analyses were used to show the influence of SUI on HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) depression score and HADS anxiety score. The effects of demographic factors and physical ailments and SUI on work difficulties were similarly analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. Results: A total of 4208 women with mean age of 60 were included in the analysis. The more frequent SUI episodes were associated with a greater reduction of HRQoL in both physical and mental health domains. In addition, both multivariate and univariate analyses showed that SUI could be correlated with a negative effect on HADS anxiety score (OR 1.617, p=0.000) and HADS depression score (OR 1.263, p=0.016). Univariate analyses suggested that work difficulties were correlated with SUI. Available data revealed that many sufferers, including up to 40% of individuals with SUI frequency rating 1 (less than once a month) to 3 (a few times a week), failed to seek treatment. Conclusion: SUI, common in women ≥40 years of age, impairs quality of life in both physical and mental health domains. SUI is an independent risk factor for anxiety and depression and has been linked to significant work dysfunctions. Trial Registration: This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02618421 (Date of registration: December 1, 2015).

“…Some researchers suggest that the age of most SUI sufferers is indeed in the fi fth decade. 8 The same thing was stated that women aged 50 to 54 years had a 1.81 chance of severe incontinence compared to women who were 40 years old (95% CI, 1.66-1.97) 9 . The odds are increasing to 2.8 times and 3.4 times at the age of 50 and 60 years 10 .…”

Objective: To examine the relationship between muscle strength and muscle thickness of levator ani with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women.Methods: This study uses a comparative cross-sectional study design. We collected 82 women who visiting the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic of RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo with the study group were subjects with positive cough tests while the control group were subjects with negative cough tests. The data obtained in the form of history taking, Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), physical examination (POPQ), cough test. perineometer, and ultrasound.Results: We found no significant difference between the levator ani muscle thickness to the incidence of SUI with the median levator ani muscle thickness 0.63 cm (range 0.31-1.02 and p = 0.897). While levator ani muscle strength against SUI has a median of 19.5 (range 4.6-88.6 and p = 0.001). In multivariate analysis it was found that purely SUI, prolapse and age had no significant effect on the strength of levator ani muscles with a p-value of 0.243; 0.844; 0.903.Conclusions: There is no significant difference in levator ani muscle thickness between women who experience SUI compared to those who do not. Women with SUI have weaker levator ani muscle strength than those who do not experience but are not statistically significant. And there is no correlation between muscle strength and levator ani muscle thickness in women with SUI.Keywords: muscle strength, muscle thickness, perineometer, stress urinary incontinence, ultrasound. Abstrak Tujuan : Untuk mengkaji hubungan antara kekuatan otot dan ketebalan otot levator ani dengan keluhan IU-T pada perempuan.Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan desain perbandingan potong lintang dengan melibatkan 82 wanita yang berkunjung di poliklinik Obstetri dan Ginekologi RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo dengan kelompok studi adalah subyek dengan tes batuk positif sedangkan kelompok kontrol adalah subyek dengan tes batuk negative. Data yang diperoleh berupa hasil anamnesis, Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), pemeriksaan fisik (POPQ), tes batuk. perineometer , dan USG.Hasil: Hasil penelitian ini didapatkan tidak ada perbedaan bermakna antara ketebalan otot levator ani terhadap kejadian IUT dengan median ketebalan otot levator ani 0,63 cm (jarak 0,31-1,02 dan p=0,897). Sedangkan kekuatan otot levator ani terhadap IUT memiliki median 19,5 (jarak 4,6-88,6 dan p=0,001). Pada analisis multivariat didapatkan bukti bahwa secara murni IUT, prolap dan usia tidak mempunyai pengaruh bermakna terhadap kekuatan otot levator ani dengan nilai p masing-masing 0,243; 0,844; 0,903.Kesimpulan : Tidak terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna pada ketebalan otot levator ani antara perempuan yang mengalami IU-T dibanding yang tidak mengalami. Perempuan IU-T mempunyai kekuatan otot levator ani yang lebih lemah dibanding yang tidak mengalami, namun tidak bermakna secara statistik. Tidak terdapat hubungan korelasi antara kekuatan otot dan ketebalan otot levator ani pada perempuan yang mengalami IU-T.

“…Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), defined as "the descent of one or more: the anterior vaginal wall, the posterior vaginal wall, the uterus (cervix), or the apex of the vagina (vaginal vault or cuff scar after hysterectomy), is a condition which is frequently associated with UI, probably due to similar risk factors and causes of the occurrence [1,3,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11]. It is considered that up to 50% of women with POP also have symptomatic SIU [9].…”

Introduction. Pelvic organ prolapse is commonly associated with symptomatic stress urinary incontinence, in up to 50% of patients. The aim of our research was to examine the quality of life of women with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse after conventional surgical treatment. Material and Methods. The research included 50 patients with stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse that underwent vaginal hysterectomy with anterior and posterior colporrhaphy. The pelvic organ prolapse-quantification system was used to determine the degree of genital prolapse. All patients completed a questionnaire to determine the "stress and urge" score preoperatively, as well as the Urinary Distress Inventory-6 and Urinary Impact Questionnaire-7 during the follow-up examination, a year after the surgery. Results. One year after surgery, 20 patients (40%) presented with a recurrence of cystocele. The average value of the Urinary Distress Inventory-6 questionnaire a year after surgery was 29.0 ± 10.8, while the average value of the Urinary Impact Questionnaire-7 questionnaire was 3.7 ± 16.3. After the surgery, 6 patients (12%) had persistent stress urinary incontinence and 4 patients (8%) had urge urinary incontinence. Among patients with persistent stress urinary incontinence, two patients reported pronounced symptoms of stress urinary incontinence and reoperation was performed. Conclusion. The classical surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse with anterior and posterior colporrhaphy leads to improvement in the quality of life of patients with pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. If the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence persist after classical surgical treatment, other anti-incontinence surgical modalities should be considered.
