Maobushisaishinto was given to 10 elderly female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) for 4 weeks. Five patients showed SUI improvement with its herbs. The mean age for the effective group was higher than that for the non-effective group (73.2 vs 50.2 yrs old ; p = 0.08). In former group, 2 cases demonstrated a remarkable effect ; one with the number of pads used decreasing from 8 to 2 and the other decreasing from 4 to 1.
Because of the possibilities of urethral pressure elevation with ma huang (the mao component) and improvement of detrusor overactivity with Fu zi (the bushi component), maobushisaishinto may be applicable for the aged female suffering from SUI.
