Urinary incontinence

By Asma Korbi

Urinary continence is the result of a balance between intra-vesical and urethral pressures.The International Continence Society (ICS) defines urinary incontinence as the involuntary and disturbing loss of urine.The layout of the pelvic floor explains why the consequence of childbirth is muscular trauma.We began by looking at the onset of postpartum urinary incontinence, perineal rehabilitation and the moments of exchange women enjoy during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Then, we developed and conducted 70 questionnaires with 70 deliveries in the postpartum services at AZIZA OTHMENA Hospital between February 10, 2014 and March 10, 2014 and a second questionnaire with 30 midwives to assess their knowledge about urinary incontinence and perineal rehabilitation.Midwives are primary care professionals, now responsible for women's reproductive health. Knowledge of the perineum and its physiology should be assessed at every consultation, and may or may not lead to pelvic-perineal education sessions.
