Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is a prevalent medical condition, particularly affecting women, and can have multiple underlying causes. It is ubiquitous in individuals who are overweight, experience increased abdominal pressure or have had multiple childbirths (multipara). SUI significantly impacts a person’s quality of life, as it involves the involuntary leakage of urine during moments when physical forces on the bladder are heightened, such as during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or physical activity. Historically, the earliest theories regarding SUI linked the condition to the anatomical failure of urethral support. However, further research has revealed that it is not just anatomical failure but the dynamic interaction between the bladder and urethral pressures during increased intra-abdominal pressure that plays a crucial role in the onset of SUI. This understanding has broadened the focus of treatment, moving beyond just anatomical corrections to addressing the complex physiological processes involved. Interestingly, the issue of urinary incontinence is not new to medical history. The Ebers Papyrus, an ancient Egyptian medical text dating back to around 1550 BCE, contains approximately 900 treatments for various conditions. Among these are references to managing incontinence, specifically mentioning remedies to “remove the urine which runs too often” and to “remove constant running of the urine.” This demonstrates that SUI, or conditions similar to it, has been recognized and treated for thousands of years, highlighting its enduring impact on human health. Here a short review of the history of Stress Urinary Incontinence is reported which is essential to address more aspects of this complex situation.
Keywords: SUI, historical review, intra-abdominal pressure, quality of life.
