[Urinary incontinence in the female over 60 years of age--urodynamic findings].
A group of 20 urinary continent postmenopausal women and two stress incontinent groups in the age of 60-69 and 70-79 years have been examined concerning standardized conditions without and with stress. The measurements using the pneumatic-hydraulic pump perfusion were recorded under standardized conditions. The whole pressure profile without stress decreased with increasing age and with stress incontinence. The maximum urethra closure pressure has been displaced in the distal part of the urethra. The stress profile demonstrated a shortening of the continence zone, a clear decrease of the urethra closure pressure and a bad pressure transmission in the whole urethra, especially in its distal part. These fluctuations make us expect, that there are only a few promising possibilities of conservative treatment in stress incontinent postmenopausal women over 70 years.
