Does the climacteric influence the prevalence, incidence and type of urinary incontinence?
Climacteric : the Journal of the International Menopause Society 2023 January 24
Divergent opinions have been reported in the literature regarding the influence of the climacteric on the prevalence, incidence and types of urinary incontinence. In addition, the influence of hormonal therapy in the climacteric (HRT) on the occurrence of urinary incontinence in the perimenopausal period has been the subject of much discussion. This review evaluates the current literature regarding any possible association between the climacteric and the prevalence, incidence and types of urinary incontinence as well as illustrating the possible influence of HRT on urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence is more common in women than in men and there is evidence to suggest that the prevalence of urinary incontinence in women increases in a linear fashion with age. There is no conclusive evidence to support a specific increase in the prevalence of urinary incontinence at the time of the menopause. Stress urinary incontinence is more common in premenopausal women and urgency urinary incontinence and mixed incontinence are more common in postmenopausal women. Women receiving systemic estrogen, with or without progestogen, are more likely to develop or experience worsening of incontinence.
