Definition and Classification of Male Stress Urinary Incontinence
摘要
Urinary incontinence (UI) is broadly defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as the “involuntary loss of urine during the bladder storage phase [1]”. Clinically, this may manifest as “the self-reported absence of involuntary urine loss or negative results on stress or pad tests” [2] and is usually accompanied by some degree of subjective bother for the patient. Furthermore, urine is expelled from an orthotopic anatomically intact urinary system (e.g., urinary leakage from a urethrocutaneous fistula is not considered a form of incontinence).
