Female voiding dysfunctions usually occur as a result of urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, or bladder outlet obstruction.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is any involuntary leakage of urine. It can be a common and distressing problem, which may have a profound impact on quality of life. The most common types of urinary incontinence in women are stress urinary incontinence and urge urinary incontinence. Women with both problems have mixed urinary incontinence. Stress urinary incontinence is caused by loss of support of the urethra which is usually a consequence of damage to pelvic support structures as a result of childbirth. Urge urinary incontinence is caused by uninhibited contractions of the detrusor muscle.
Overactive bladder (OAB) can result from dysfunction of the nerves or muscles in the bladder, most commonly the dysfunction of the detrusor muscle. In OAB, the detrusor can contract inappropriately regardless of how much urine is stored in the bladder, hence the term detrusor overactivity.
Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a blockage at the base of the bladder. It reduces or prevents the flow of urine into the tube that carries urine out of the body (urethra).
We aim to compare between lower urinary symp
