Women with urinary tract dysfunction may have bouts of constipation.
2003 SEP 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Women with urinary tract dysfunction may have bouts of constipation.
According to a study from Australia, "it has been suggested that, apart from obstetric trauma, chronic straining at stool may also result in pudendal nerve damage, contributing to the etiology of genuine stress incontinence (GSI). The benign joint hypermobility syndrome (BJHS) has been associated with rectal as well as uterovaginal prolapse, suggesting that connective tissue abnormalities may also be implicated."
"This study was undertaken in order to further investigate whether-and if so, why-an association may exist between symptoms of obstructive defecation, lifetime constipation, chronic heavy lifting and lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction," explained J. Manning and colleagues, University of Sydney, Department of Surgery.
"Cases were female patients referred for urodynamic assessment with symptoms of LUT dysfunction. Controls were age-, sex- and postcode-matched community controls. Both cases and controls were assessed using a detailed questionnaire that also asked about symptoms of BJHS. Cases were also divided into their urodynamic classification of LUT dysfunction."
"All symptoms of obstructive defecation (52.3% vs. 33.6%, P=0.00003), as well as chronic straining at stool (38.6% vs. 23.4%, P=0.0005), were significantly more common in women with LUT dysfunction than in community controls. BJHS, chronic heavy lifting and a history of uterovaginal prolapse were significantly associated with patients with LUT and ...
