  • Title: [Urodynamic results before and after physiotherapy of women with stress incontinence].
    Author: Voigt R.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1985 Aug; 45(8):563-6. PubMed ID: 4043710.
    Abstract:
    With reference to the urodynamic results in 21 women with mild stress incontinence who underwent conservative treatment with pelvic floor exercises over a period of three to six months prior to possible surgery, the author comments on the value of this therapy. At the time of follow-up examination 11 of the women were so satisfied with the regression of their complaints that surgery was unnecessary. Only two patients reported no change in their symptoms after treatment. It may be possible to use the parameters of urethrocystometry as an objective criterion of success; however, these are not statistically significant; they merely indicate a tendency to improvement. The results are discussed together with information given in the literature.
