ABSTRACT

Urinary incontinence affects 46.5% of Mexican women and it is a fact that its prevalence increases in relation to the aging process. Adequate diagnosis cannot be made through clinical evaluation alone, except in select cases, and it generally requires several study techniques such as simple cystometry, cystoscopy, ultrasound imaging, and urodynamics. Urodynamic testing is the criterion standard for diagnosing urinary incontinence, but it is expensive and not easily accessible. There are many techniques available for the study of these patients, and it is the authors’ opinion that ultrasonography has been underused for this purpose.
Objective: To describe ultrasonographic anatomy and a validated technique for performing ultrasound imaging of the pelvic floor that has a specificity of 79.6% and a sensitivity of 92% in the diagnosis of urethral hypermobility.
