Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined by the International Continence Society as the complaint of any involuntary leakage of urine.3 One component of the ICS standardization divides pelvic floor muscle dysfunction symptoms into five groups: lower urinary tract symptoms, bowel symptoms, sexual function, prolapse, and pain.4 It is of note that many of these symptoms occur simultaneously and are relevant to each other. In this report, we will focus on lower urinary tract symptoms: urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency, slow or intermittent urine stream and straining, and feeling of incomplete emptying.
Common medications to treat urgency or urgency urinary incontinence have historically included anticholinergics/antimuscarinic agents: oxybutynin, tolterodine, solifenacin, hyoscyamine, fesoterodine and darifenacin. These drugs are sold under the names of: Ditropan, Detrol, Vesicare, Enablex, Levbid, Cytospaz, Toviaz and Oxytrol. Anticholinergic/antispasmodic drugs are one of the first choices for OAB, as they have been proven to be the most effective agents in suppressing premature detrusor contractions, enhancing bladder storage, and relieving symptoms.9,10 Anticholinergic and antispasmodic agents act by antagonizing cholinergic muscarinic receptors, through which different parasympathetic nerve impulses evoke detrusor contraction Side effects of these medications can be bothersome and include dry mouth, headache, constipation, blurred vision, and confusion.1 Many patients do not continue medications beyond 9 months due to these bothersome side effects.11 A newer class of drugs, beta-3 adrenergic agonists, are mostly currently being used if anticholinergic agents are not effective. One medication, called mirabegron, sold under the name Myrbetriq, works differently than the anticholinergics, as it relaxes the bladder’s smooth muscle while it fills with urine, thereby increasing the bladder’s capacity to hold/store urine.12
