An introduction to female stress urinary incontinence2015-11-02 Chen Xiaosong Xuanwu Hospital Department of Urology Capital Medical University Xuanwu Hospital Department of Urology Jia Chunsong Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) refers to the situation in which there is no contraction of the detrusor muscle. The phenomenon of urine leaking from the external urethral opening due to increased pressure in the bladder caused by increased abdominal pressure, which exceeds the pressure generated by the urethra and sphincter. It is characterized by the absence of urine loss in the normal state of the patient and the automatic flow of urine when the abdominal pressure is suddenly increased, and is commonly seen in adult women and postmenopausal women. Epidemiological statistics show that the incidence of urinary incontinence in women over 65 years of age can be as high as 50% to 83%. The pathogenesis of SUI is related to estrogen levels, neurotransmitters and collagen content; treatment methods are varied, including pelvic floor muscle function exercises, pharmacological treatment (such as monoadrenergic agonists, estrogens and Chinese medicinal preparations), surgical treatment and acupuncture treatment; the main nursing methods include conventional care, psychological interventions, cognitive-behavioral interventions, etc. With the continuous improvement of SUI treatment methods, the combined application of multiple methods of comprehensive therapy has become a new trend to improve the clinical effect of SUI treatment and improve the quality of life of patients.
