ABSTRACT

Urinary Incontinence (UI) is a cardinal geriatric syndrome that has an impact on the health and quality of life of the elderly and those living around them. The etiology is often multifactorial. Physical, cognitive, functional, and psychological factors contribute to the appearance of UI. In most patients, the clinical history and a good physical examination are enough to diagnose UI accurately; although to confirm and classify UI further more complex tests are needed. The fields of pharmacology, endoscopy, neurophysiology, and surgery are making significant progress to manage UI; therefore, is useful for all practicing physicians that attend elderly patients to learn about the new therapeutic options.
