🚽 Stress vs Urge Incontinence Differential Simulator

This simulator differentiates between stress incontinence (caused by coughing or sneezing, due to urethral sphincter weakness) and urge incontinence (detrusor hyperactivity). It uses a daily voiding diary and cough challenge test for accurate diagnosis.

Sphincter Weakness as the Mechanical Root of Stress Incontinence

Placeholder: weak pelvic floor and urethral sphincter cannot resist pressure.

  • Sphincter: Mechanism (Placeholder short note)
  • Exertion: Trigger type (Placeholder short note)
  • Childbirth: Common cause (Placeholder short note)
  • Small: Typical volume (Placeholder short note)

Sphincter weakness overview

Placeholder: brief note on urethral hypermobility and weak closure pressure.

Cough Test Reveals Leak Under Sudden Abdominal Pressure

Placeholder: standing cough test provokes visible urine loss.

  • Cough stress test: Test name (Placeholder short note)
  • Standing/supine: Position (Placeholder short note)
  • Instant leak: Positive sign (Placeholder short note)
  • Comfortably full: Bladder fill (Placeholder short note)

Provocation test protocol

Placeholder: brief note on performing and reading the cough stress test.

Detrusor Overactivity Drives Involuntary Bladder Contraction

Placeholder: detrusor spasms independent of bladder volume or exertion.

  • Detrusor spasm: Mechanism (Placeholder short note)
  • Spontaneous: Trigger type (Placeholder short note)
  • Neurogenic/idiopathic: Common cause (Placeholder short note)
  • Large: Typical volume (Placeholder short note)

Detrusor overactivity overview

Placeholder: brief note on urodynamic detrusor contraction spikes.

Sudden Strong Urge Precedes Urge-Type Leakage

Placeholder: abrupt compelling urge with little warning time.

  • Abrupt: Onset (Placeholder short note)
  • Seconds: Warning time (Placeholder short note)
  • None: Link to exertion (Placeholder short note)
  • Episodic: Frequency (Placeholder short note)

Urgency sensation pattern

Placeholder: brief note on urgency-frequency symptom clustering.

Voiding Diary Timing Separates Stress From Urge Patterns

Placeholder: diary correlates leaks with activity or sudden urge.

  • Voiding diary: Tool (Placeholder short note)
  • Activity-linked: Stress marker (Placeholder short note)
  • Urge-linked: Urge marker (Placeholder short note)
  • 3-day log: Duration (Placeholder short note)

Diary-based classification

Placeholder: brief note on combining diary entries with test results.

Placeholder: mixed pattern suggests both mechanisms are contributing.
