Let's talk about Urinary Incontinence

Dr. Lila Vyas

Urinary Incontinence (UI) means: Any involuntary or unwanted loss or leakage of urine. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Urinary Incontinence is a widespread global disease and one of the medical taboos for many people. UI affects around one in three women worldwide.

Urinary Incontinence affects 17-45% of women worldwide and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is responsible for 48% of all cases.

It is common for other symptoms to occur along with Urinary Incontinence - having a strong urge to urinate, urinating more often than what is usual, waking from sleep to urinate, painful urination, urine leakage while asleep.

Urinary Incontinence in women can be divided into three main types: 1. Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is urine leakage while coughing, laughing, or sneezing. Leaks can also happen when a woman walks, runs, or exercises. SUI is considered a social stigma. SUI can have a profound impact on women's quality of life as the condition can result in embarrassment, psychological distress, social isolation and loneliness. Only 27% of women with SUI seek help, as they perceive this problem as an occurrence of natural aging process. Factors that increase a woman's risk of developing SUI, or make the condition worse: genetic & hormonal factors, pregnancy, lifestyle factors e.g. aging, obesity, lung disease and smoking (leading to increased coughing), urinary tract infections, neurological diseases, pelvic floor disorders such as vaginal or uterine prolapse, neurological and muscular abnormalities.

Urge Urinary Incontinence (UUI) is a sudden strong urge to urinate that is hard to stop. Women with this type of urinary incontinence may leak urine on way to the bathroom too. 3. Mixed incontinence combines symptoms of both SUI and Urge Urinary Incontinence (UUI).
Treatment options for Urinary Incontinence (UI) Life style modification, kegel's exercises are preventive measures. For Urge Incontinence (UUI) treatment of choice is medical management where as in SUI medicines are not effective. In early cases of SUI (grade I & II) non surgical options -LASER is one of the most preferred choice. Studies in India and abroad have proved its role in SUI.
In late cases of SUI (grade III & IV) surgical management is required. For surgeries highly skilled surgeons are required and that too is not free of complications.
