Evaluation and Treatment
of Urinary Incontinence
and Prolapse
Division of Urogynecology/
Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Rationale
●
Patients with conditions of pelvic
relaxation and urinary incontinence
present in a variety of ways.
● The physician should be familiar with the
types of pelvic relaxation and incontinence
and the approach to management of these
patients.
Objectives
The student will demonstrate knowledge of:

Predisposing factors for pelvic organ prolapse
and urinary incontinence

Anatomic changes, fascial defects and
neuromuscular pathophysiology

Signs and symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse

Physical exam

Treatment
International Continence Society
Definition of Urinary Incontinence
 Involuntary
urine loss that is severe
enough to constitute a social or
hygiene problem and that is
objectively demonstrable
Questions for Patients
Do you leak urine when you cough,
sneeze, laugh, or exercise?
 Do you leak on the way to the
bathroom?
 Do you know the locations of bathrooms
when you are shopping or travelling?
 Do you leak during intercourse?

Stress or Urge Incontinence?
EPIDEMIOLOGY

Estimates of prevalence vary
– Bias in sample surveys
– Patient under-reporting
– Differences in definitions, populations
studied and methods used

~ 13 million Americans are incontinent
– 10-35% of adults
ECONOMICS OF URINARY
INCONTINENCE

Direct health care costs
– > $15 billion/yr

Indirect health care costs
– Incontinence products
– Loss of work/productivity

SUMMARY
Prolapse is associated with pressure,
but not pain

and half of speculum
 Site-specific approach to repair
 Treatment focused on symptom
improvement, not anatomical correction
