Bladder and Bowel Question

32 y.o. nulliparous female comes in with complaints of stress urine loss with pretty much any activity. In addition, she also has involuntary loss of flatus. The problems began two years ago and have gotten progressively worse over the course. Exam reveals normal appearing anatomy without any anatomic defects and UV angle well supported. The patient is not obese. Urologist examined the patient and concluded that the urine loss was likely "anatomic", despite noting a normal exam and decided not to perform urodynamics. He recommended deferring any surgical treatment until after childbearing.

I have a concern regarding the facts; this is a nulliparous woman, the symptoms are progressive and involve two "perineal" systems.

Any comment or suggestion? Lynn

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
