Management ofFemale Stress Urinary
Incontinence
GiampieroCapobianco, PierLuigiCherchi,
andSalvatoreDessole
9.1 Introduction
Urinary incontinence is dened as a condition of involuntary loss of urine [1]. The
three most common types of urinary incontinence are the following: stress urinary
incontinence (SUI), characterized by an inadvertent loss of urine occurring as a
result of an increase of intra-abdominal pressure due to effort or exertion or on
sneezing or coughing; urge urinary incontinence (UUI), denoting involuntary leak-
age arising for no apparent reason and associated by urgency; and mixed urinary
incontinence (MUI), when both are occurring. According to Hunskaar etal. [2], the
prevalence and distribution of the types of urinary incontinence in noninstitutional-
ized women are 49%, 21% and 29%, respectively.
SUI has a prevalence between 10 and 40% of the female population, especially
in the postmenopausal age, and has a negative impact on the quality of social, work-
ing and affective life of the patients [2]. The wide prevalence range of urinary incon-
tinence, in general, depends on the denitions used in clinical studies (if the loss of
involuntary urine takes several times in a day or week or if you consider the last
12months), from the methodology (telephone interviews, questionnaires shipped at
home) and in differences between the populations considered in the world.
The objective of this chapter is to report the current state of the art and new thera-
pies on the management of female stress urinary incontinence.

9.2 Methods ofSearch Strategy
A detailed literature research on MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, NLH,
ClinicalTrials.gov and Google Scholar databases was done up to July 2017 with
restriction to English language about articles regarding SUI, medical therapy, surgi-
cal therapy and most recent treatment options. The keywords used for this review
were female stress urinary incontinence, midurethral sling, tension-free vaginal tape
(TVT) and transobturator tape (TOT, TVT-O). Original articles, reviews and meta-
analysis were included. Studies including exclusively devices no longer available
on the market at the date of the review were excluded. Disagreements among authors
as to the studies to include were solved by discussion. In cases of duplication, the
study with the most recent data was included. In case of cohort studies with multiple
publications, the last dataset on efcacy was used.
9.3 Pathogenesis ofStress Urinary Incontinence
Urinary continence is the result of the synergy between the structures that constitute
the pelvic oor and the sympathetic nervous component, parasympathetic and the
motor bres of the pudendal nerves. An alteration of one or both components leads
to an inability of the urethra to counteract increases in abdominal pressure resulting
in loss of urine during physical exercises, even minimal in the most severe cases.
Factors that may promote the onset of the SUI are age, parity, especially vaginal
delivery and obesity as they can facilitate the onset of a weakening of the pelvic
oor support structures resulting in urethral hypermobility. The nerve component
may affect both bladder and urethral innervation. Even in this case, advanced age,
previous pregnancy and parity may inuence this mechanism of urinary continence
following the stretching or compression of nerves during the passage of the foetus
in the birth canal [3, 4].
9.4 Assessment andInvestigation of Female
Urinary Incontinence
The initial clinical evaluation is the categorization of the woman’s urinary inconti-
nence (UI) as SUI, mixed UI or urgency UI/overactive bladder (OAB) because the
initial treatment starts on this basis. According to NICE guidelines, if stress incon-
tinence is the predominant symptom in mixed UI, we should discuss with the
woman the benet of conservative management including OAB drugs before offer-
ing surgery [5].
Before the use of supervised pelvic oor muscle training for the treatment of UI,
routine digital assessment to conrm pelvic muscle contraction is mandatory.
Women with UI who have symptomatic prolapse that is visible at or below the vagi-
nal introitus should be referred to a specialist [5].
All women with UI should undertake a urine dipstick test to detect the presence
of blood, glucose, protein, leucocytes and nitrites in the urine. If a woman does not

147
have symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTI) and her urine tests are negative for
either leucocytes or nitrites, a urine sample for culture is not necessary because she
is unlikely to have UTI [5].
Women should complete a minimum of 3-day bladder diaries covering variations
in their usual activities, such as both working and leisure days [5].
Assessment of post-void residual urine by bladder scan or catheterization in
women with symptoms suggestive of voiding dysfunction or recurrent UTI is good
clinical practice as initial evaluation.
In women with UI, the indications for consideration for referral to a specialist
service include persistent bladder or urethral pain, clinically benign pelvic masses,
associated faecal incontinence, suspected neurological disease, symptoms of void-
ing difculty, suspected urogenital stulae, previous continence surgery, previous
pelvic cancer surgery and previous pelvic radiation therapy [5].
9.5 Conservative Treatment ofStress Urinary Incontinence
Figure 9.1 shows the rst management of urinary incontinence in women and Fig.9.2
the specialized management according to the European Association Urology (EAU)
guidelines [6]. Recently, among the main care options are included exercises aimed
at restoring the strength and muscle tone of the pelvic oor and oestrogenic therapy
with the possibility to also associate the administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus
in a triple therapy that has proven to be effective as the rst therapeutic step [7].
Figure9.3 shows the care pathway of SUI in women. Multichannel urodynamic test-
ing (MUT) should not be performed before starting conservative management [5].
Lifestyle interventions regard reduction of caffeine intake in women with OAB
and advise women with UI, who have BMI >30, to lose weight. Adsorbent products,
urinals and toileting aids should not be considered as a treatment for UI but should
be used only as an adjunct to ongoing therapy and long-term management of UI
only after treatment options have been explored.
We should offer pelvic oor muscle training to women in their rst pregnancy as
preventive strategy for UI [5].
A multidisciplinary team (MDT) for urinary incontinence should include at least
the following healthcare professionals: a urogynaecologist, a urologist with a sub-
specialist interest in female urology, a specialist nurse, a specialist physiotherapist
and a colorectal surgeon with a subspecialist interest in functional bowel problems.
The MDT should inform any woman wishing to consider surgical treatment for UI
on the benets and risks of non-surgical and surgical options and their provisional
plan [5].
9.5.1 Drugs forStress Urinary Incontinence
Duloxetine has been approved in Europe for treatment of SUI.The adverse effects
include mental health problems and suicidality. Duloxetine was effective for SUI in
women, but the rates of associated harms outweighed the benets [8].

Furthermore, the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guideline
states that duloxetine should not be used as a rst-line treatment or routinely offered
as a second-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence, given that pelvic oor
muscle training is more effective and less costly than duloxetine and that surgery is
more cost-effective than duloxetine [5].
9.5.2 Laser Therapy
Now, laser therapy has been introduced in the non-invasive treatment of the SUI,
already used in the gynaecological eld for the treatment of vaginal disorders typi-
cally associated with menopause (vaginal atrophy). The lasers used in the gynaeco-
logical eld are mainly of two types, the CO
2
laser and the vaginal erbium ER:YAG
laser (VEL) (so-called because it uses an erbium-doped yttrium-aluminium-garnet
medium, (YAG)), which, although not having a microablative function as CO
2
lasers, can induce changes in genital tissues that can induce benet both in cases of
vaginal dryness and dyspareunia and in the treatment of mild and moderate SUI.This
type of laser can be used in the SUI therapy with a signicant reduction of the symp-
toms reported by the patients [9–12]. The mechanism of action is attributed to the
remodelling, which occurs due to a thermogenic effect of the collagen that consti-
tutes the pelvic oor; with menopause a drastic reduction in the amount produced
occurs thus resulting in the decrease of its physiological function of support causing
not only urinary incontinence but also facilitating the onset or aggravation of the
prolapse of the genital organs. The thermogenic effect is such that it induces in the
target tissues a neoangiogenesis, neoformation of collagen, increased epithelial
thickness and the content of cellular glycogen thus ensuring greater support for the

urethra. All these changes of the tissues are detectable for at least 6months after
treatment [10]. The rst studies on laser therapy in the SUI are due to Fistonic etal.
[11] who evaluated through the questionnaire “Incontinence Questionnaire—
Urinary Incontinence Short Form” (ICIQ-UI SF) the efcacy and safety of the
ER:YAG showing that even in severe SUI, there was a signicant improvement in
symptomatology, without any particular adverse events being recorded. The ef-
cacy of the treatment is already visible after a single session, further increasing after
three sessions with benets lasting for at least the next 6months [11]. Although
there are not currently enough studies investigating the efcacy of the use of laser
in the long term, it appears clear that this represents a therapeutic option that can be
developed in the future, minimally invasive for the patient, and with objective ben-
ets demonstrated, not only with regard to the SUI but the whole spectrum of symp-
toms of the genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). A study of Gambacciani
etal. [12] evaluated the effects of ER:YAG lasers on the symptoms associated with
menopause, demonstrating how patients reported subjective benets, conrmed
objectively by the measurements of VHIS (Vaginal Health Index Score), demon-
strating above all how it is a practice very well tolerated by patients with a possibil-
ity of results achievable quickly and long lasting, up to 24weeks [12]. According to
this study, the ER:YAG treatment is indicated in all those women who present not
only the classic symptoms associated with menopause, such as dryness and vaginal
atrophy, but also in the treatment of mild- moderate SUI in those women who cannot
benet from hormonal treatments as is the case of patients with history of previous
breast cancer [12].
9.5.3 Combination Therapy: Vaginal Topical Medical Therapy
andPelvic Floor Rehabilitation
Signicant importance has vaginal topical medical therapy, since oestrogens, which
in menopause see a physiological and drastic reduction of their levels, have receptors
throughout the genitourinary tract and on the pelvic oor musculature [13].
Oestrogens have an important role in the mechanism of urinary continence since they
affect the synthesis of collagen; their topical (vaginal) administration can also act by
reducing the frequency and amplitude of the detrusor contractions, thus increasing
the sensory threshold of the bladder and promoting relaxation of the detrusor muscle
[14]. These oestrogen-dependent mechanisms explain why, with the fall of their val-
ues after the menopause, disorders of the urogenital apparatus including the SUI
become so frequent. Oestrogenic therapy, in particular estriol, has been extensively
demonstrated in literature as being of valid aid in the treatment of urogenital disor-
ders [15]; it also is free of proliferative effect on the endometrium. Intravaginal local
therapy with estriol has proven to be effective in the therapy of urogenital atrophy,
recurrent infections of the low urinary tract and the SUI in postmenopausal women
[16, 17], especially when combined with exercises aimed at the muscular toning of
the pelvic oor, a combination that is very well tolerated by the patients [17]. But the
effects of combination therapy are only marginal and perhaps not long lasting.

Pelvic oor muscle training should be done for at least 3months’ duration as
rst-line treatment to women with stress or mixed UI; pelvic oor muscle training
programmes should comprise at least eight contractions performed three times per
day. Electrical stimulation and/or biofeedback should be considered in women who
cannot actively contract pelvic oor muscles in order to aid motivation and adher-
ence to therapy [5].
9.6 Evaluation ofUncomplicated Stress Urinary
Incontinence inWomen Before Surgical Treatment
Counselling about treatment should begin with conservative options. According to
the Committee Opinion of American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
(ACOG), the evaluation before primary surgery in women with symptoms of SUI
includes six steps: (1) history; (2) urinalysis; (3) physical examination; (4) demon-
stration of incontinence (cough stress test; if stress test is negative, despite patient
symptoms of SUI, multichannel urodynamic testing is recommended); (5) assess-
ment of urethral mobility (cotton swab test; patients who lack urethral mobility may
be better candidates for urethral bulking agents rather than sling procedures); and
(6) measurement of post-void residual urine volume [18]. Table 9.1 shows basic
evaluation ndings for uncomplicated versus complicated SUI.
9.7 Multichannel Urodynamic Testing
Preoperative multichanel urodynamic testing (MUT) is not necessary before plan-
ning primary anti-incontinence surgery in women with uncomplicated SUI, as indi-
cated by observed urinary leakage from the urethra by provocative stress measures,
a normal urinalysis result (without urinary tract infection), no POP beyond the
hymen and a normal post-void residual urine volume. However, women who have
complicated SUI (Table9.1) may benet from MUT before initiation of treatment,
especially surgery [18].
MUT and voiding cystometry should be performed before surgery, after under-
taking a detailed clinical history and examination, in women who have symptoms of
OAB leading to a clinical suspicion of detrusor overactivity or symptoms suggestive
of voiding dysfunction or anterior compartment prolapse or had previous surgery
for stress incontinence [5].
Videourodynamics should be proposed if diagnosis is unclear after conventional
urodynamics [5].
9.8 Surgical Therapy
The surgery, by techniques such as the retropubic colposuspension by Burch [19],
one of the most widely used until about 15years ago (with abdominal approach in
the past while laparoscopic nowadays), the anterior colporrhaphy by Kelly, or the

suspension with needle, is now mostly replaced by the new minimally invasive sur-
gical techniques of midurethral slings (MUSs) including the tension-free vaginal
tape and retropubic (TVT) and the transobturator (TVT-O) tape. Another therapeu-
tic option is the injection of urethral bulking agents (UBAs).
We have not included in this review retropubic colposuspension by Burch or
autologous fascial slings because there have been no recent high-quality publica-
tions relating to these surgical procedures.
