7.The Epidemiologic Study of the Urinary Incontinence in Community-dwelling Women over 50 Years Old.
Korean Journal of Urology 1999;40(11):1525-1530
PURPOSE: The goals of this study were to estimate the prevalence and correlates of urinary incontinence in community-dwelling women over 50 years of age. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted in a typical farming village of Yu-Kok in the southern region of Korea. The community population had 719 women over 50 years old in Yu-Kok. The interviews using questionnaires regarding general characteristics, obstetric history, disease-related factors, and urinary symptoms including incontinence were undertaken. In addition, urinalysis, uroflowmetry, ultrasonography, and physical examination were performed. RESULTS: Of 719 female residents over 50 years old, 429 women were participated in our study. The response rate was 59.7%. The prevalence of urinary incontinence was 65.0%(279/429) for the responders. The prevalence of urinary incontinence for each decade was 69.5%, 65.6%, 60.2% and 66.7% over 50 and up to 89 years of age, respectively. The prevalence of urinary incontinence was 65.6%(172/262) in low or normal weight female (body mass index<25), and 70.2%(9/84) in overweight or obese group (body mass index > or =25). The prevalence of stress incontinence was higher in overweight or obese(29.8%) than low or normal weight group(20.0%)(p<0.05). Though number of delivery didn`t affect the prevalence of urinary incontinence, a good correlation was found between stress urinary incontinence and number of delivery. Of 258 women who suffered from stress urinary incontinence, 195(75.6%) also had cystocele, and 190(73.6%) complained of rectocele. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of female urinary incontinence in this study was relatively higher compared to other studies. Most of incontinent women didn`t recognize the incontinence as a pathological state and consequently, didn`t visit doctor. Such behavior suggests that they need more information and more education toward urinary incontinence. Also, health care providers should pay more close attention for patient who are suffering from urinary incontinence.

10.Electrical Stimulation for Refractory Overactive Bladder.
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2008;51(3):255-261
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a medical condition characterized by urgency, with or without urge urinary incontinence, frequency, and nocturia in the absence of genitourinary pathologies or metabolic factors that can explain these symptoms. The current management of OAB is complex, and a wide range of options for conservative treatment have been offered, including bladder training, biofeedback, behavioral changes, oral or intravesical anticholinergic agents, S3 sacral neuromodulation, and peripheral electrical stimulation. The clinical efficacies of these treatments remains an open issue, and several experimental and clinical studies have been carried out during the last years. However, a minor group of OAB patients prove to be refractory to these conservative managements and need further evaluation involving sophisticated urodynamic testing and cystoscopy to carefully define the nature of the lower urinary tract dysfunction and to rule out other causes underlying the symptoms. Thus, the management of refractory OAB, which accounts for 10% of the whole spectrum of OAB, is extremely difficult. The aforementioned therapeutic tools have not always been completely satisfactory in these refractory OAB. Here, the author reviews the mechanism of micturition reflex and the current therapies, particularly highlighting the potential benefit of neuromodulation for refractory OAB.
