“…Despite the fact that no statistically significant differences were found, the present study showed a slight predominance of UI among the primiparae, which disagrees with other studies performed in Brazil (14)(15)21) and in Europe (13 ) , which found that UI was more common among multiparae women. A study performed in Norway (3 ) , with 4,662 primiparae and 3,549 multiparae, found that parity is a strong risk factor for UI during pregnancy and that the UI prevalence is greater among women who have experienced childbirth.…”

“…In literature, studies state that urinary incontinence affect up to 74% of the formerly continent pregnant women (10)(11)(12) . Considering a population of age between 17 and 45 years, studies show UI prevalence in the postpartum between 20% and 27.5% (10,(12)(13)(14)(15) .…”

“…The frequency of urine loss, the women's age, high weight, pregnancy, parity, type of childbirth, the use of vacuum extraction and forceps, as well as the situation of the perineum, and the newborn's high birthweight are considered triggering factors for UI in the postpartum (13,(16)(17) . Studies performed in Denmark and Spain (4,10) found a high association rate between UI in the postpartum and the type of childbirth and with the occurrence of UI during pregnancy.…”

RESUmoEste estudo transversal teve como objetivo caracterizar as manifestações de incontinência urinária autorreferida no pós-parto. RESUmEnEste estudio transversal tuvo como objetivo caracterizar las manifestaciones de incontinencia urinaria autorreferida en el posparto. Fueron entrevistadas 288 mujeres atendidas en un Centro de Salud Escuela del municipio de São Paulo, entre enero y agosto de 2009. Los datos demostraron que de las 71 mujeres con incontinencia (24,6%). 44 de ellas (62%) refirieron incontinencia ante los esfuerzos, 65 (91,5%) sentían el escurrimiento de la orina, 33 mujeres (46,5%) presentaban pérdidas más de una vez a la semana, y 24 (33,8%) refirieron perdida urinaria persistente en el momento de la entrevista. La gravedad, clasificada como incontinencia urinaria moderada, se constató en 53 mujeres (74,7%). Los hallazgos realzan la importancia de investigaciones sobre incontinencia urinaria en el período de posparto, así como su abordaje en la enseñanza y atención a la mujer en el período reproductivo.

“…These results are in agreement with a study done in the U.S.A, in which it was found a prevalence of 46% and 43% respectively (18) , however, it contradicts those other studies conducted in Europe and in Brazil which found higher incidence of UI in multiparous than in primiparous (8,12,19,20) . The analysis of presented studies have shown that parturitions is a determinant risk factor to urinary incontinence in the postpartum.…”

Objectives: To verify the prevalence of self-reported urinary incontinence (UI) in women after childbirth, and to identify related factors. Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted between January and August 2009. We interviewed 288 women, who were 30 days to 6 months postpartum. Data were statistically analyzed. Results: The prevalence of self-reported postpartum UI was 24.6%. The average age of women was 26 years; only skin color showed a statistically significant difference, with the largest representation among white women. Among the 71 women who reported postpartum UI, the majority were primiparas and underwent normal delivery. Conclusion: The occurrence of self-reported urinary incontinence after childbirth is associated with skin color, predominantly in primiparous women as compared to non primiparous. Identification of factors related to UI in women after childbirth and its prevalence contribute to the planning of midwifery care for women who experience reproductive events. Keywords: Obstetrical nursing; Urinary incontinence; Women's health RESUMOObjetivos: Verificar a prevalência de incontinência urinária (IU) autorreferida por mulheres no pós-parto e identificar os fatores relacionados. Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico transversal, realizado no período de janeiro a agosto de 2009. Foram entrevistadas 288 mulheres com 30 dias a 6 meses de pós-parto. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente. Resultados: Observou-se prevalência de 24,6% de IU autorreferida no pós-parto. A idade média das mulheres foi de 26 anos, apenas a cor da pele apresentou diferença estatística significante, com maior representatividade em mulheres brancas. Dentre as 71 entrevistadas que referiram IU no pós-parto, a maioria era primípara e submeteu-se ao parto normal. Conclusão: A ocorrência de IU autorreferida no pós-parto associa-se à cor da pele com predominância em primíparas em comparação às não primíparas. Identificar os fatores relacionados à IU em mulheres no pós-parto e sua prevalência contribui no planejamento de atenção de enfermagem obstétrica à mulher que vivencia o período reprodutivo.

The anatomical basis for urinary continence depends on a thorough understanding of the tissues in the urethra. The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphology and neuroanatomy of urethral striated muscle, called the rhabdosphincter or external urethral sphincter, in normal female rats. Urethras from 12 female rats were dissected from the bladder, fixed, embedded in paraffin or epon, and sectioned every 1 mm. Striated muscle content was taken as the ratio of the striated muscle area to net urethral area. Nerve fascicles containing myelinated axons near the rhabdosphincter were counted and mapped. Both striated muscle content and number of nerve fascicles peak in the proximal third of the urethra, with a secondary peak at the distal end of the urethra. This secondary peak may correspond to an analog of the combined compressor urethrae/urethrovaginal sphincter located in the distal urethra in human. The rhabdosphincter has a variable distribution along the length of the urethra. In the middle and distal thirds of the urethra, the dorsal striated muscle fibers between the urethra and vagina become more sparse. The majority of nerve fascicles are contained in the lateral quadrants of the urethra, similar to the lateral distribution of somatic nerves in humans. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the normal distribution of the striated musculature and neuroanatomy in the urethra, with similarities to the human. It thus supports and extends the usefulness of the rat as an experimental model for studying urinary incontinence. Anat Rec 290: 145-154, 2007. 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
