Stress incontinence the urethral sphincter is weakened so that transient
increases in intra-abdominal pressure raise the
bladder pressure to levels that exceed urethral
resistance. Causes include childbirth and surgery,
postmenopausal atrophy of the mucosa, and urethral
infection. May follow prostate surgery in men.
urge incontinence detrusor contractions are stronger than normal and
overcome the normal urethral resistance. The
bladder is typically small. Mechanisms: Decreased
cortical inhibition of detrusor contractions from
stroke, brain tumor, dementia, and lesions of the
spinal cord above sacral level. Also hyperexcitability
of sensory pathways ie: bladder infections, tumors,
and fecal impaction. Deconditioning of voiding
reflexes ie: frequent voluntary voiding at low bladder
volumes.
, overflow incontinence detrusor contractions are insufficient to overcome
urethral resistance, causing urinary retention. The
bladder is typically flaccid and large, even after an
effort to void. Mechanisms: obstruction of the
bladder outlet ie: BPH or tumor. Weakness of the
detrusor muscle associated with peripheral nerve
disease at S2-4 level. Impaired bladder sensation that
interrupts the reflex arc ie: diabetic neuropathy.
functional incontinence the patient is functionally able to reach the toilet in
time because of impaired health or environmental
conditions. Mechanism: problems in mobility
resulting from weakness, arthritis, poor vision, or
other conditions. Also environmental factors such as
an unfamiliar setting, distant bathroom facilities, bed
rails, or physical restraints.
Incontinence secondary to drugs may contribute to any type of incontinence
medications listed. Ex: sedatives, tranquilizers, anticholinergics,
sympathetic blockers, and potent diuretics
