Monocentric Pilot Study for the Application of an Endourethral Device for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence
Sponsor: Relief srl
Summary
Stress urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary loss of urine during exertion or physical activity (i.e., sports) or during sneezing or coughing. Approximately 127 million women and 10 million men reported suffering from stress urinary incontinence in 2008, and current estimates are on the rise. The prevalence of stress urinary incontinence is higher in older age groups, with 10% of women and 5% of men over the age of 65 suffering from this condition. The initial management of urinary incontinence consists of basic diagnostic investigations to rule out any reversible conditions (i.e., bacterial urinary tract infections, UTIs), while conservative and non-invasive treatment options include lifestyle changes, (PFMT) with or without biofeedback, and bladder retraining.
