Focus on female urinary health

        There are a large number of urgent problems in the female urinary system, such as the most common clinical condition of female enuresis (transitional bladder activity disorder), which affects 1 in 6 people, and the high prevalence of urinary incontinence in women, which affects at least 1 in 4 women and increases with age, with a prevalence of 50% in women aged 60. Patients need to take various measures to avoid embarrassment, such as prophylactic bladder emptying, use of diapers, strict restriction of water intake, and avoidance of social activities and physical exercise. Since the International Urinary Control Association launched International Urinary Incontinence Week in 2009, these problems have been well taken care of in Europe and the United States, but in China, especially at the grassroots level, people just classify them as “difficult diseases”, and patients consider it a natural aging process or do not go to the hospital in time because of shyness, so many women’s Nuisance symptoms can not be solved, many pain can not be removed, which in fact seriously affects the quality of life. Urinary incontinence, in particular, has even been called the “social cancer” of the 21st century.        With the continuous research on female lower urinary tract symptoms, it has been found that the current female lower urinary tract symptoms are strongly related to the relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy, which includes the prolapse of organs, such as the uterus, bladder, vaginal wall prolapse and so on. Based on this mechanism, many problems concerning the lower urinary tract in women have also been addressed.

Stress incontinence can be completely cured by minimally invasive surgery, while urge incontinence requires pelvic floor exercises + taking M-blockers for relief, and sacral nerve electrical stimulation therapy is mainly used for severe urinary frequency and urgency syndromes, etc.        The International Continence Control Association defines the last week of June each year as World Incontinence Week, and conducts a worldwide promotion of incontinence knowledge during this period, with the aim of drawing attention to female incontinence and popularizing knowledge about it for the benefit of incontinence patients.        Let’s take a look at women’s urinary health!
