The purpose of this study is to increase awareness and timely treatment of urinary incontinence through a self-screening process. This is a 3 month study involving 2 activities; one taking place at the beginning of study and another 3 months later. Participants will be randomized into experimental and control groups. The experimental group will receive a demographic questionnaire, quality of life questionnaire, a questionnaire pertaining to urinary symptoms, information about how to self-screen for urinary incontinence and information regarding how to refer oneself to urinary incontinence resources. The control group will receive the demographic and quality of life questionnaires only. It is estimated that it will take participants 20-30 minutes to complete their package of questionnaires. After 3 months, the participants will receive a phone call inquiring into what actions they have taken regarding their urinary incontinence.
BACKGROUND: Compare the pain intensity after TVT-O procedure in the inner part of the thigh where the anesthetic substance will be injected versus the inner part of of the thigh without anesthetic injection in the same woman. The advantage of this work is that this method of testing neutralizes the effect of pain thresholds of different women. If an advantage will be found in injecting anesthetic as a reduction in postoperative pain, it could be recommended for all women who undergo surgery of this kind. METHODS: Preoperative women will be offered the opportunity to participate in the study after a detailed explanation of the study and determine a date for an elective TVT-O procedure. After signing the Informed Consent Form, they will undergo a TVT-O procedure with injection of anesthetic into one of the obturators membranes. In a random order, Marcaine 5-ml will be injected into a left or right obturator membrane. One side with Marcaine (Bupivacaine HCL) 0.5% 5 mg / mL Injection,opposite side without injection of any anesthetic. Before and after surgery, patients will receive Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) instruction and will be polled at the following time points: 1,6,12,24 hours after surgery per inner part of the thigh separately. Each patient will rate the intensity of the pain she feels on the pain questionnaire at each of the time points mentioned before.

Study with food supplement to assess the eficacy of pollen extract on Urinary Incontinence
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle and abdominal training in reproductive-age patients with stress urinary incontinence. This prospective randomized controlled design study included 64 female patients aged 18-49 years with stress urinary incontinence. The patients were divided into 2 groups (32 PFMT "Pelvic Floor Muscle Training" and 32 PFMT+AT "Abdominal Training") by computer-based randomization. The stress urinary incontinence type was assessed by a stress test, and the pelvic floor muscle strength was measured with a home biofeedback device. Voiding functions were assessed by a 3-day voiding diary and uroflowmetric test. The UDI-6 scale was used to assess the urinary symptoms, and the IIQ-7 scale was used to assess the quality of life. The follow-up measurements of both groups were obtained in the 0th, 4th, and 8th weeks.
