This course is part of the RCOG Core Knowledge series.
Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary loss of urine. It is a benign, distressing and embarrassing condition affecting up to 25% of women and can lead to a significant restriction in the lifestyles of affected individuals.
This course explores the management options for different types of urinary incontinence – from behavioural therapies through to drugs and surgery. It looks at modern methods of achieving an efficient, cost-effective solution that embraces community and hospital practice within a multidisciplinary approach.
To fully appreciate this course, you will need to be familiar with the RCOG eLearning Assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms.
When you have completed this course, you will be able to:
- describe the initial management of patients prior to urodynamic assessment (which, according to NICE guidelines, will be carried out by GPs)
- describe the role and technique of conservative measures and how these should be explained to patients
- describe the role of continence advisors and specialist physiotherapists
- describe the role of medication in the management of lower urinary tract symptoms
- describe the range of surgical measures for stress incontinence, with emphasis on midurethral tapes
- describe the modern surgical measures for detrusor overactivity, including botulinum toxin A bladder wall injection and neuromodulation, with an awareness of more traditional surgical procedures
- describe the management of other conditions, such as voiding dysfunction and fistula.
