Incontinence urinaire de la femme

Urinary incontinence is a distressing condition in women; it may occur at any age and impairs their quality of life. It affects about 20% of the female population. Genuine stress incontinence (GSI) and detrusor instability (DI) are by far the most frequent causes of urine leakage. They can be recognized by physical examination and confirmed essentially by urodynamics. GSI requires pelvic floor retraining and/or surgery while DI usually requires anticholinergic treatment.
