A Reassessment of Bladder Training in Detrusor Dysfunction in the Female

Abstract

Summary— The aetiology of detrusor instability and its relationship to subjective symptomatic cure is discussed. Out‐patient bladder training without the use of drug therapy in 90 patients with frequency/urgency and/or urge incontinence is illustrated and the results are analysed. In resistant cases the value of periodic provocative cystometry is emphasised.
