İnkontinans vakalarında şikayetlerin süresinin uzamasının pelvik taban kas aktivitelerine etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Üriner veya anal ınkontinans şikayeti olan hastalarda semptomların başlangıcından tedavi başvurusuna kadar geçen sürenin, pelvik taban kas aktiviteleri üzerine olan etkisini incelemek Materyal ve Metod: Hastanemiz ürojinekoloji polikliniğine başvuran ve üriner ve/veya anal inkontinans şikayeti olan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların vajinal ve rektal basınç değerleri ölçüldü. Pelvik taban elektromiyografi (EMG) ölçümleriyapıldı. Hastalar inkontinans süreleri 2 yıldan az olanlar ve 5 yıldan fazla olanlar olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılarak değerlendirildi. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde independent t test, Fisher exact test kullanıldı. Bulgular ve Sonuç: Şikayetleri 2 yıldan daha az süren grupta dinlenme ve kasılma esnasında vajinal ve rektal basınçlar anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu. EMG aktivitelerindeki değerler I.grupta, Il.gruba göre ortalama %64 daha yüksek gözlendi.
