title: [Study and treatment of urinary incontinence in women. A case load based study by general practitioners and gynecologists].
abstract: 139 general practitioners and 190 gynaecologists responded to a case-history questionnaire about female urinary incontinence. More gynaecologists than general practitioners reported more frequent use of leakage provocation test, neurological examination, frequency-volume chart, and measurement of residual urine. Among the less relevant procedures, use of blood tests was reported more frequently by general practitioners, and use of x-rays and ultrasonography by gynaecologists. General practitioners preferred urine microscopy to urine culture. The opposite was true for the gynaecologists. 50% of the gynaecologists would prescribe oestrogens for the postmenopausal women, as against 25% of the general practitioners. Young women were instructed in pelvic floor exercises, incontinence pads were prescribed for elderly women.
