摘要:

AbstractIncontinence is liable to breed a sense of frustration and hopelessness but there are now many aids for incontinent people. Several factors are involved such as bladder instability, neuropathic bladder, environment, psychological, iatrogenic and mechanical factors, and so on. Diagnosis should differentiate between stress incontinence, overflow incontinence and the atonic bladder.Drugs are seldom effective by themselves but play a useful role as adjuvants in the general management of the patient. A number of drugs are useful, such as anticholinergics, oestrogens, and possibly indomethacin. The anticholinergics are most widely used, emepronium and flavoxate being the most effective.Toilet training is most important and many advances have been made in the last few years to produce aids and appliances for the incontinent patient. Among these are male and female urinals, commodes, incontinence pants of several varieties, incontinence pads and absorbent bed sheets. Catheterization may be needed as a last resort.
