摘要
Psychological aspects of 211 female patients attending a Urodynamic Unit were assessed by means of standardized questionnaires. Patients with genuine stress incontinence (GSI) showed changes comparable to other patients with longstanding physical complaints. Patients with sensory urgency (SU) lacked self esteem and were more anxious than those with GSI. Patients with detrusor instability (DI) were as anxious and lacking in self esteem as patients with sensory urgency and additionally had morbid thoughts and worries and higher scores on the hysteria sub-scale of the Crown-Crisp Experimental Index. Roughly a quarter of all the patients reported that their urinary symptoms rendered life intolerable and they were as anxious, depressed and phobic as psychiatric inpatients.
