Use of Sildenafil for Treatment of Urinary Incontinence
Sponsor: The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston
Summary
The investigators goal is to develop medical treatments for stress/mixed urinary incontinence. Sildenafil has been shown to improve blood flow as well as muscle mass and strength and to decrease muscle fatigue. The investigators believe that it will improve muscular atrophy in the pelvic floor, thus improving symptoms of urinary incontinence related to pelvic floor dysfunction.
