Nearly 50% of women suffer from urinary incontinence, the involuntary leakage of urine. Of the 50%, only 25-35% seek treatment. Thus, urinary incontinence is very common, under diagnosed, under treated, and socially stigmatized. This lecture will assist those attempting to lift the burden of these maladies.
This presentation explains stress, urge, mixed, and neurogenic urinary incontinence. The explanations include why these processes occur, in what stage of life they commonly occur, and how they are resolved with interventions ranging from lifestyle interventions, to medications and surgery.
This is a great lecture for anyone interested in a solid foundational understanding of urinary incontinence.
