The Medical Rehabilitation of Overactive Bladder after Transurethral Resection of the Prostate: A Case Report
Downloads
Introduction: Overactive bladder is a syndrome of increased urinary frequency and nocturia with or without incontinence in absence of obvious pathology. Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) is one of the neuromodulation used to treat overactive bladder. We report the medical rehabilitation program in overactive bladder post-Transurethral Resection of The Prostate (TURP). The medical rehabilitation program consisted of pelvic floor muscle exercise and TTNS that may reduce the overactive bladder symptoms. This study aims to determine whether TTNS and pelvic floor muscle exercise will reduce overactive bladder symptoms after TURP.
Case Presentation: a 40-year-old Asian man who developed overactive bladder symptoms after TURP had the medical rehabilitation program consisting of pelvic floor muscle exercise and TTNS. The pelvic floor exercise was given twice a day and TTNS was given twice a week for 12 cycles and repeated for 12 cycles. He was followed up by Over Active Bladder Symptoms Score (OABSS) to assess the severity of symptoms.
Conclusion: The medical program rehabilitation that consisted of pelvic floor muscle exercise and TTNS reduced 50% in the severity of overactive bladder symptoms after TURP. No complications have been reported. Need further research to know the definitive result.Overactive Bladder; Transurethral Resection of the Prostate; Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation; Pelvic Floor
