Introduction. The search for effective drug combinations for treating continental disorders in women is still relevant. The interval scale for assessing lower urinary tract symptoms in women is a simple and convenient tool for monitoring pharmacotherapy. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of imperative and mixed urination disorders in women with alpha1-blockers in combination with nootropic drugs using an interval symptom rating scale.Materials and methods. Under observation there were 31 patients aged 40 to 73 years who applied to the Center “Urination Pathology” with mixed and imperative disorders of the continent and urinary incontinence. Conservative therapy was carried out with the appointment of alpha1-adrenoblockers, nootropic and metabolic drugs for an average of 5.8 months. The therapeutic effect is recorded using the interval symptom score scale.Results. After discontinuation of drugs, the overall score on the symptom rating scale decreased by 40.2%, imperative symptoms – by 29.5-50%, and quality of life increased by 19%. In the group of women aged 40-49, with comparable dynamics of symptoms with patients older than 50 years, therapy lasted less. The difference averaged 4.1 months and was associated with a higher frequency in the older age group of vascular, metabolic and neurological disorders that slow down the regulatory processes of urination recovery.Conclusion. Alpha1-blockers and nootropics are pathogenetically substantiated for the treatment of imperative disorders of urination and urinary incontinence. Evaluation using the interval scale reliably demonstrates their high clinical effectiveness, persistence of the therapeutic effect and the feasibility of application at the stage of selection for surgical treatment.
