Clinical Study
Treatment Strategy According to Findings on Pressure-Flow Study for Women with Decreased Urinary Flow Rate
Table 4
Changes in degree of bladder outlet obstruction and status of detrusor contractility after treatments.
| (a) Urethral dilatation in patients with BOO(1) (n = 4). |
| | LinPURR(2) (Detrusor contractility) | | Pre-treatment | Post-treatment |
| | Patient 1 | degree 4 (Normal) | degree 2 (Strong) | | Patient 2 | degree 4 (Normal) | degree 2 (Normal) | | Patient 3 | degree 4 (Normal) | degree 1 (Normal) | | Patient 4 | degree 3 (Weak) | degree 1 (Weak) |
|
|
| (b) Distigmine bromide in patients without BOO (n = 3). |
| | Detrusor contractility (LinPURR) | | Pre-treatment | Post-treatment |
| | Patient 1 | Weak (degree 1) | Normal (degree 1) | | Patient 2 | Weak (degree 1) | Weak (degree 1) | | Patient 3 | Weak (degree 1) | Weak (degree 1) |
|
|
(1)BOO, bladder outlet obstruction
(2)LinPURR, linear passive urethral resistance relation.
