Frequency of bladder emptying dysfunction in normal-weight women without pelvic organ prolapse who have urinary incontinence

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of bladder emptying dysfunction (BED) in women of normal weight without pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who have diagnosis of urinary incontinence (UI).Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with UI.Patients who underwent urodynamic testing for any medical indication were included in the study.Results: Seventy-six patients with a clinical diagnosis of UI who underwent urodynamic testing were identified.In 68.4% of the patients, the diagnosis of UI was confirmed by urodynamic testing, and 67.1% presented with voiding dysfunction.Etiologies observed as causes of UI included detrusor overactivity in 18.4% of patients, overflow in 17.1%, hypocontractility in 23.7%, and obstruction in 8.1%.Conclusion: More than two-thirds of patients with UI, of normal weight, without POP, presented with BED.
