Abstract

Voiding disorders are frequently associated with urinary incontinence and other lower urinary tract dysfunction in women, but the cause of these disorders is not well understood and treatment options are limited. Little has changed in the treatment and evaluation of voiding disorders. New approaches to the study of detrusor function have added insights into the etiology of these disorders.

[Sexuality in patients with restricted breathing].

BACKGROUND: Sexuality in chronic diseases is of increasing significance. In the majority of patients with chronic lung diseases, sexual activity is reduced. Most available data on this topic are based on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). PATHOGENESIS: Dyspnea, cough, muscular weakness, and the associated reduction of physical activity are the main causes of reduced sexual activity in COPD patients. In addition to direct somatic-physical effects of COPD, the associated psychosocial deficits and adverse effects of medication contribute to sexual dysfunction. TREATMENT: An intact communication between physician and patient is an important issue within a therapeutic strategy. Applying both treatment and behavioral strategies enables even patients with severe lung diseases to be sexually active. Somatic therapy consists of both systemic medication and local interventions to treat sexual dysfunction. If oxygen therapy is indicated, it should be administered also during intercourse. In patients with chronic ventilatory failure, sexual activity may profit from noninvasive mechanical ventilation.
