TELLEZ-DIAZ TRUJILLO, JA et al. Current aspects in the management of stress urinary incontinence in women. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2017, vol.77, n.5, pp.411-418.  Epub June 04, 2021. ISSN 2007-4085.  https://doi.org/10.24245/revmexurol.v77i5.1310.

Stress urinary incontinence is defined by the International Continence Society as the involuntary leakage of urine upon physical effort or exertion, coughing, or sneezing. It has a 49% prevalence in the female population. Age, pregnancy, parity, a history of hysterectomy, obesity, and a history of pelvic radiation are among the risk factors involved in this pathology. Numerous therapeutic strategies for stress urinary incontinence have been described, from conservative management with bladder training to lifestyle changes and surgery. Current first-line management for stress urinary incontinence is the mid-urethral sling, considered the criterion standard, in comparison with other surgical techniques. Corrective treatment is important for improving quality of life in women that present with stress urinary incontinence.

Keywords : Stress urinary incontinence; Bladder training; Midurethral sling.
