“…[12][13][14] However, several large studies agree that bothersome, severe incontinence occurs in about 6% of a community population. [15][16][17][18][19] The prevalence increases still further in the physically impaired. Urinary incontinence therefore will commonly occur in stroke survivors as a consequence of their disability even if the stroke is not a cause of the incontinence per se.…”

Background-Urinary incontinence in the acute stage of stroke is seen as a predictor of death, severe disability, and an important factor on hospital discharge destination. Therefore, it is an important measure of stroke severity that not only affects the lives of stroke survivors but also those of caregivers. Summary of Review-A number of studies have linked the presence of bladder dysfunction in stroke survivors to various neurological lesions in areas thought to be primarily involved in micturition. However, neurological deficits may affect management of bladder control secondarily by apraxia or aphasia, for example, and a significant number of strokes occur in individuals already experiencing incontinence. Conclusions-Despite incontinence being such an important prognostic feature, there are many gaps in our knowledge of the relationship of stroke and incontinence, particularly fecal incontinence. There are almost no studies on the influence of achieving continence on outcome or how this might be brought about. This article reviews the literature on this important topic and highlights deficiencies in our knowledge and areas of future research. (Stroke. 1998;29:524-528.)

“…However, in a small portion of women sequelae might remain that progress to prolapse and urinary incontinence (3). Although epidemiological data indicate a higher incidence of SUI among multiparous women (4,5), this disorder is observed in 16 to 31% of nulliparous women (6,7). Hormonal alterations resulting from aging, obesity, smoking, chronic cough, and constipation are associated with SUI (8).…”

Purpose: To compare the outcomes and costs of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery using a hand-made sling (Marlex®) versus a commerciallyavailable suburethral polypropylene sling (Advantage®). Materials and Methods: Thirty-nine women with SUI due to bladder neck hypermobility and/or sphincter incompetence diagnosed by clinical examination and urodynamic studies were divided into two groups: group 1 (n = 19) consisted of patients from an academic center (Department of Urology, University Hospital of Federal University of Maranhao, and group 2 (n = 20) patients from private practice. The hand-made polypropylene suburethral sling was used in group 1 and the commercial sling in group 2. The patients were evaluated 30, 60 and 90 days after surgery. Results: The mean duration of surgery was 43 min. in group 1 and 51 min. in group 2. No postoperative voiding difficulties were observed in group 1 (100%), as well as, in 94.7% of patients of group 2. A bladder catheter was not required in any of the patients of the two groups at the end of the study. The level of satisfaction was 100% in group 1, whereas, one patient of group 2 considered the surgery to be unsuccessful. Urodynamic studies showed low amplitude uninhibited contraction in 11.1% of patients of group 1 and 10.5% of group 2. No complications were observed in either group. Conclusion: The hand-made polypropylene mesh (Marlex®) can be used for sling procedures, saving costs and yielding results similar to that obtained with commercial sling systems.

“…Dysfunction of pelvic floor muscles is generally associated with dysuria and lumbo-pelvic pain 16) . Vaginal delivery is a major factor in the prediction of urinary incontinence regardless of age, because females who have had at least one vaginal delivery experience 2.5 times higher incidence rates of urinary incontinence than women who have not experienced vaginal delivery 17) . Sapsford et al 9) reported contraction of all abdominal muscles during pelvic floor muscle contraction and the contraction was particularly conspicuous in the transversus abdominis muscle and internal and external oblique muscles.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of birth history and delivery method on vaginal pressure and abdominal muscle activity during pelvic floor muscle contraction (PFMC).[Subjects] Thirty healthy female volunteers (26~39 years of age) were selected for the research. Their delivery histories were: nulliparous 10, vaginal delivery 10 and cesarean delivery 10. None of the participants had a history of incontinence.[Methods] Abdominal muscle activities and vaginal pressure were recorded in the crook-lying position. During pelvic floor muscle contraction.[Results] Pelvic floor muscle contractions induces significantly different vaginal pressures between subjects with nulliparous and vaginal delivery histories (p<0.05), but no significant difference in vaginal pressure was induced between the vaginal delivery group and cesarean delivery group. [Conclusion] Pelvic floor muscle contraction induced no significant differences in electromyography in each group
