Urinary incontinence.
Stress incontinence
-History of patient coughing, sneezing, lifting heavy object, laughing and they experience incontinence. Usually a female with a lot of kids.
-Treatment is pelvic floor exercises (e.g. kegels), Pessary, or Pelvic floor surgery (sling).
Urge incontinence
- history of patient feeling the urge to use the bathroom, but never makes it in time.
- Problem is Detrusor overactivity.
- Treatment is bladder training, Oxybutinin (antimuscurinic/anticholinergic), or Mirabegron (beta 3 agonist).
Overflow incontinence (neurogenic incontinence)
- usually seen in poorly controlled diabetes or anyone with neurological problem.
Involuntary dribbling because the bladder is too full - Detrusor under activity.
Treatment is Bethanachol (Cholinergic agonist) or Intermittent catheterization for chronic urinary retention.
