“…Oestrogen could have some effects on improving lower urinary tract symptoms, but it is not recommended as a primary treatment (Norton and Brubaker, 2006;Lachowsky and Nappi, 2009). A controlled multicenter study showed that treatment with a combination of oestrogen and progesterone increased the severity of incontinence episodes.…”

The purpose of this population‐based cross‐sectional study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence (UI) in women over 20 years old. The study was conducted with 800 women and the participants were stratified by age and residence. The data obtained from the study revealed that prevalence of UI was 32·4%, while the most frequently encountered type of UI was mixed urinary incontinence (72·6%). Logistic regression analysis results demonstrated the most important risk factors for UI as aging [≥50, Odds ratio (OR) 2·94, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·68–5·13], chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR 2·90, 95% CI 1·15–7·34) and recurrent urinary tract infections (OR 3·30, 95% CI 1·94–5·61).

In the study, we report the comparative efficacy of the sodium hyaluronate gel vaginal application and promestriene cream which were tested to treat the gynecological symptoms of people who suffered from vaginal dryness. Method: 35 patients applied sodium hyaluronate vaginal gel one time a day for a period of two times a week during three weeks and other 33 patients using promestriene cream applied it every day for a period of three weeks also. Results: No significant difference was observed between vaginal application of sodium hyaluronate gel and promestriene cream, regarding both, as regarding the dryness of the intimate mucosa (p = 0.786), the attribute of moisturizing properties to the intimate mucosa (p = 0.142), the comfort sensation (p = 0.528), and no significant difference was observed regarding the fragrance of the product (p = 0.088). Conclusion: The similar results between vaginal application of both products support the use of sodium hyaluronate vaginal gel (Lubrinat®) in the initial approach of symptoms of vaginal dryness.

“…The levator ani muscle of the pelvic floor is also oestrogen sensitive. 3 Oestrogen increases cell cycle activity in all of these tissues, and a lack of oestrogen results in a decrease in the number of epithelial cells in the urethra, bladder and vagina. 4 Cyclical variation in oestrogen levels during the menstrual cycle may lead to both symptomatic as well as urodynamic changes, with the premenstrual period being the most bothersome.…”

Significant hormonal changes occur at the time of menopause and this has an impact on all oestrogen-sensitive tissue.The female lower urinary tract (LUT) is no exception. Decreasing levels of oestrogen characteristic of the menopause produce symptomatic, histological and functional changes of the vulva, vagina and lower urinary tract together. Examples of specific urogenital problems include urgency, urinary incontinence and susceptibility to urinary tract infection. Oestrogen therapy works by preventing or reversing urogenital atrophy and provides symptomatic improvement although it may need to be combined with other treatments for certain conditions such as incontinence. Oestrogen therapy requires time to become effective with vaginal preparations probably superior to systemic therapy. Prophylactic oestrogen therapy has not been shown to be clearly of benefit for specific types of urinary incontinence.Peer reviewed.
