NICE issued guidelines on routine care for the healthy pregnant woman in March 2008. They recommend:
Booking bloods/urine
Gestation Purpose of visit
Urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common problem, affecting around 4-5% of the population. It is more common in elderly females.
Risk factors
advancing age
previous pregnancy and childbirth
high body mass index
hysterectomy
family history
Classification
Management depends on whether urge or stress UI is the predominant picture. If urge incontinence is predominant:
bladder retraining (lasts for a minimum of 6 weeks, the idea is to gradually increase the intervals between voiding)
bladder stabilising drugs: antimuscarinics are first-line
o NICE recommend oxybutynin (immediate release), tolterodine (immediate release) or darifenacin (once daily preparation)
o Immediate release oxybutynin should, however, be avoided in 'frail older women'
mirabegron (a beta-3 agonist) may be useful if there is concern about anticholinergic side-effects in frail elderly patients
