Brief Summary

Continent women have an intact internal urethral sphincter that extends from the bladder neck down to the perineal membrane. The internal urethral sphincter is a strong collagen muscle tissue cylinder lined by urothelium. On ultrasound scanning tissue echo will be detected torn internal urethral sphincter will not stand sudden rise of abdominal pressure. Three dimensional ultrasound assessment of the internal urethral sphincter is very sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence.

Conditions

Urinary Incontinence Due to Urethral Sphincter Incompetence

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• evaluation of the internal urethral sphincter and assesst the extend and degree of the torn internal urethral sphincter

  we are going to do 3d ultrasound by transvaginal probe to see the internal urethral sphincter if torn or not and evaluate the morphology of the urethra and pelvic floor structure

  6 month

stress urinary incontinence

group 1 women with stress urinary incontinence by ultrasonography

Device: ultrasonography
