Urodynamic analysis of 92 women with urinary incontinence

Objective To investigate the application of urodynamics in diagnosing women with urinary incontinence. Methods A total of 92 women with urinary incontinence (aged from 39 to 52) was included in this study. Urodynamic examinations were performed in all patients according to the recommendations of the International Continence Society (ICS). The women with urinary incontinence were divided into three groups according to the results of urodynamic examinations, including the genuine stress urinary incontinence group (SI, 56 cases), urge urinary incontinence group (UI, 13 cases) and mixed urge/stress urinary incontinence group (MI, 23 cases). Results There was no difference in the SI and MI groups with ALPP (P 0.05). Maximum cystometric capacity and bladder compliance of SI and MI was higher than that of the UI groups (P 0.01). Maximum urethral pressure and maximum urethral closure pressure of SI and MI was lower than UI groups (P 0.01). There was no difference in three groups with maximum flow rate, the pressure of detrusor at maximum flow rate and functional profile length (P 0.05). Conclusion Urodynamic testing should be regarded as an essential part of diagnosis and therapy for women with incontinence.
