Recurrent urinary stress incontinence: evaluation and therapy

Abstract

When a patient is said to have recurrent stress urinary incontinence, by definition, it means they have incontinence which occurs after apparent cure of incontinence. In many cases, the circumstances of this condition are unclear. Often it cannot be established whether the patient has incontinence which persists after treatment or whether the patient was cured of incontinence (i.e., became continent) and then has incontinence reappear. In either case, the patient has incontinence which is present after having had some form of treatment.
