Anticholinergics are used to address an overactive bladder and can be helpful with urge incontinence. Mirabegron is used to treat urge incontinence, it relaxed the bladder muscle which can increase the amount of urine the bladder can hold it may also assist with emptying the bladder more completely. Alpha blockers used in men with urge or overflow incontinence, this helps relax the bladder neck muscles and the fiber muscles in the prostate making it easier to empty the bladder. Topical estrogen comes in the form of a cream, a ring or a patch that may help tone and rejuvenate the tissue of urethra and vaginal areas. Factors that increase the risk of incontinence are gender; women are more likely to have incontinence due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and normal anatomy of the female body. Men with prostate problems can have incontinence issues as well. Age, as we get older, the muscles of the bladder become weaker and the amount of urine the bladder can hold decreases. Being overweight puts pressure on the bladder and surrounding muscles which weakens them. Other diseases such as neurological and diabetes may increase the risk of incontinence. A simple UTI is treated with a common antibiotic usually given for one to seven days depending on the amount and type of bacteria in the urine. Frequent UTI’s may require low-dose antibiotics for six months or more,

When I started my placement , Mrs . X who was suffering from Parkinsonism and dementia was on Indwelling urinary catheter for the management of urinary incontinence. Adhering to the results from the literature review I planned for initiating several steps to control incontinence in Mrs. X. My mentor was always with me with full support and guidelines. Fluid management was the first step started. An input output chart was kept and well maintained. Then steps wre also taken to manage constipation. Exercises were the last method practiced and the final result was really appreciable as she got a great reduction in the incontinence rate.

It is estimated that over 3.3 million U.S. women, or 2.7 percent, who are 18 years of age or older have pelvic pain and other symptoms, such as urinary urgency or frequency, that are associated with IC/PBS.

The three questions addressed were: Who should receive urinary catheters, what are the best practices for those who require urinary catheters and for preventing CAUTI’s acquired from urinary obstruction. This updated guideline offers recommendations for the appropriate use of indwelling catheters utilizing appropriate indications for usage, proper techniques for insertion of indwelling catheters, proper techniques for indwelling catheter maintenance, quality improvement programs, administrative infrastructure and surveillance including identifying those at risk for CAUTI (Gould et al, 2009). The strengths of this guideline are that many questions and scenarios are examined in this document and answered in explicit detail. Any healthcare professional can refer to the document to answer most practice based questions that are posed to them regarding indwelling urinary catheters. One weakness identified is the lack of an alternative explored for the external catheterization for female patients, for example the Purewick solution. However, the Purewick was not released until January 2016 and this guideline was last updated in 2009. Integrative Review

Mr. Davy Jones is a 60-year-old man that presents incontinence, nocturia, difficulty urinating, and a weak stream when urinating. The patient visited the clinic on 03/01/2017 after experiencing these issues for approximately two months. He is experiencing fatigue with not being able to achieve adequate sleep during the night due to nocturia. He is complaining of bladder always feeling full after voiding. Patient has had multiple UTI’s that was treated with antibiotics and was successful with medicinal treatment.

On February 20, 2018 the claimant was treated by Dr. Robert Lai for urge and stress incontinence. She reported an excellent response to Myrbetriq with respect to urgency but still had issues with stress urinary incontinence. Surgery was discussed with the claimant but she chose pelvic floor physical therapy first (Ex.

Yes, the screening of citations for inclusion in this review was based on explicit criteria, as they wanted to promote confidence in the outcomes appropriate guidelines were followed.

Its primary ingredient is phenazopyridine, and it diminishes discomfort by acting locally on the urinary tract mucosa to produce analgesic effects. There’s inconsistent support for using cranberry juice or cranberry extract and probiotics to prevent UTI. Lastly, a clinician should ask the patient if she’s experiencing postmenopausal symptoms of urogenital atrophy. Hormone waning in postmenopausal women results in thinning of the vaginal and urethral mucosa, disruption of the normal vaginal flora, and increased risk for UTIs (Head, 2008). She can use vaginal lubricant sold over-the-counter to help with her dryness. If she is not satisfied with the lubricant, the clinician can suggest and prescribe low-dose vaginal estrogen therapy. It has been shown to reduce dyspareunia, improve vaginal dryness, and restore vaginal pH and normal vaginal cytology (Goldstein, 2010). Hormone treatment should be based on minimizing risks to the

Most urologists do surgically repair many congenital anomalies in children, but the more complex problems are often referred to urologists with specialized training in pediatric urology. The importance of urologic problems seen primarily in women (stress urinary incontinence, interstitial cystitis, urethral diverticula, etc. is being increasingly recognized. The diagnosis and therapy of urinary incontinence constitute a significant portion of most urology practices. New therapies, both surgical and non-surgical, are being constantly developed every day.

The article “Considering the prominent complaint as a guide in medical therapy for overactive bladder syndrome in women over 45 years” that Sarah wrote about was interesting. One questions that comes to mind would what was the existing symptoms that the women had from mild, moderate or severe incontinence before the treatment and how did the medication help with those different severity levels of incontinence? Also what is the effect that different ethnic backgrounds experience different symptoms from the medications? To figure out the first question we would need to separate the women into 3 different groups and within those groups we would separate them into the two different medication groups to find out it the medications help depending

It is essential for the nurse to have a proper and detailed assessment to determine the most likely cause or type of UI. One of the most basic and least invasive assessment a nurse can do is to obtain a complete history. A complete history must asked questions such as onset and duration, aggravating factors, characteristics, medical history (medical conditions and medications), associated symptoms, attempted treatments and severity (Testa, p. 83). There are also different tools that a nurse can use such as the Urogenital Inventory/ Incontinence Impact Questionnaire and Bladder Diary. Using questionnaires and bladder diary can be used in order to facilitate data gathering for people who have difficulty discussing incontinence face to face. Thorough history can provide insight and help identify potentially reversible causative factors and contributing risk factors related to UI (Mauk, p. 553). It is also important to have a detailed physical assessment, which focused on genitourinary system, abdominal, rectal and neurologic system, in order to determine the pathophysiology of voiding problems. If the nurse suspects any cognitive impairment from the initial assessment Mini Mental State Examination, Mini- Cog, and/or Confusion Assessment Method can be used to determine the severity of the cognitive impairment. It also alerts the healthcare provider for the patient’ increased risked for constant incontinence and it also determines the appropriate interventions. Having a comprehensive assessment will help the healthcare provider to diagnose and establish proper

This is a 50-year-old gentleman with a history of urinary retention who had been placed on Flomax and intermittent catheterization once at night. He had video urodynamics done which showed a large volume in his bladder of 2340 mL. He had markedly decreased sensation to void, which occurred at 673 mL, and he had an urge to void at 1435 mL with a stronger urge at 1750 mL. However, he was unable to mount a contraction and the bladder neck and sphincter remained closed. The patient subsequently was able to void on his own and he was catheterized for a volume of 1140 mL.

It is estimated that between 30 and 40 percent of all women experience some form of stress incontinence and/or female sexual dysfunction. Incontinence is the involuntary excretion of bladder contents, which often surfaces after childbirth, as the process of giving birth can weaken the tissues around the bladder. Female sexual dysfunction can appear at any age and often presents itself as a lack of sexual pleasure or even pain during intercourse. Unfortunately, in the past, the treatments for these conditions have been unsatisfactory, expensive and with potential side effects.
