Do women have realistic expectations of treatment for stress urinary incontinence?

Abstract

Overall women have realistic expectations of treatment for SUI. They are willing to accept varied results depending on their distress regarding incontinence. Choices regarding treatments are influenced by age, severity and quality of life. It may be beneficial to include the UDI-6, age and QOL score as a part of the work up and planning for treatment of SUI to better meet patient's expectations.
