Female urinary stress incontinence - does it have familial prevalence?

Article Abstract:

A genetic defect in connective tissue may be responsible for a genetic link among female relatives experiencing urinary stress incontinence. For this study, incontinence was defined as happening at least twice a week and as causing social and hygiene problems. Researchers compared histories of urinary stress incontinence (USI) among 259 women with incontinence and their mothers, sisters, and daughters, and of 165 control group women and their relatives. First-degree relatives of incontinent women had a 20.3% rate of USI, as compared to a rate of 7.8% among relatives of women in the control group. Mothers and sisters of women in the study had three times the rate of USI as did mothers and sisters of women in the control group. Vaginal childbirth is the predominant cause of USI.

Sexual function, quality of life, and severity of anal incontinence after anal sphincteroplasty

Article Abstract:

The long-term anal continence status in women after anal sphincteroplasty is assessed, along with the effect of anal incontinence symptoms on quality of life and sexual function. Although most patients have a poor functional outcome and adverse impact on quality of life after anal sphincteroplasty, impairment in anal continence status does not necessarily have a major impact on sexual function.
