Special training programmes focusing on improving the strength of the striated sphincter and the control over this structure have proved to be beneficial. Initially additional electrotherapy may be helpful. For persisting and bothersome postoperative stress incontinence in men implantation of an artificial ...
As compared with obstructive symptoms such as hesitancy, straining, and poor force of urine stream, overactive bladder symptoms resulting from iatrogenically induced BOO following an anti-UI surgical procedure are less likely to improve despite a technically successful operation. In one series, voiding...
The symptoms of straining to void, intermittency, terminal dribbling and feeling of incomplete bladder emptying were not specific for BOO. Objective evidence of an intermittent flow pattern and of terminal dribbling do, however, have a high specificity and positive predictive value for BOO. The ...
catheterization is the preferred option for management of incomplete bladder emptying and urinary retention. Antimuscarinics are the first-line treatment for patients with storage symptoms. If antimuscarinics are ineffective, or poorly tolerated, a range of other approaches, such as intradetrusor ...

The commonest symptoms reported in chronic constipation were hard stool (95.1%), straining (90.9%) and incomplete evacuation (53.8%). Bloating was often experienced by 25.5% of the community, among whom 61.1% had some form of bowel disturbance. In men aged ≥ 30 years, LUTS (7.8% v...
Mundy and colleagues28reported urinary retention in only 0.5% of patients after radical hysterectomy, whereas straining was required by 85%. Buchsbaum and associates29reported urinary retention in 10% to 60% of patients after radical hysterectomy. Compared with surgery, adjuvant pelvic irradiation is...
This also illustrates how asking the patient to count can reduce abdominal straining. [0059] FIG. 7 shows the plot of flow rate against cuff pressure for the patient of FIG. 6, for each of the four interruptions. Note that normally the fourth interruption would be discounted because the ...
Future elucidation of the mechanistic roles of these regulators will likely enable us to develop therapies tailored specifically for men or women. Of additional translational significance, our study is the first to report that sex-specific gene signatures are effective in stratifying survival outcomes ...
