Abstract:
:Urinary incontinence remains a common problem that adversely affects the quality of life of millions of women. In detrusor instability, treatment measures often lack efficacy or are accompanied by unacceptable side effects. In this review, standard treatments are discussed, together with recent pharmacologic advances and the introduction of newer techniques including maximal electrical stimulation. The nonsurgical treatment options currently available for genuine stress incontinence are considered in the light of recent advances.
