- W2023710614 abstract "Various methods of treatment, other than antibiotic therapy, have been proposed for the treatment of female urethral syndrome; however, the results of these treatment methods are disappointing, due perhaps to the use of the wrong treatment approach. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of external sphincter relaxant and biofeedback (BFB) with electrical stimulation therapy (EST) in patients who do not respond well to antibiotics. One hundred and five patients with a diagnosis of female urethral syndrome were entered into this study. Antibiotics were given as a first-line therapy for about 3 months. In cases of recurrent or incurable urethral syndrome, antibiotic therapy combined with external sphincter relaxant or BFB with EST were performed. External sphincter relaxant group was composed of 31 patients (29.5%) who showed functional urethral obstruction. Biofeedback group was composed of 41 patients (39.0%) who had severe pain or discomfort with irritative voiding symptoms. Subjective symptom was measured before and after therapy using the Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms questionnaire. Thirty-three patients (31.4%) were treated with antibiotic therapy alone and 7 (21.2%) of these patients recurred. The symptom score of this group changed from 10.51 to 2.85. In the antibiotics plus external sphincter relaxant group (N=31), the symptom score changed from 12.39 to 3.96. Five (16.1%) of these patients recurred and 3 of these 5 underwent urethral dilatation. In the antibiotics plus biofeedback group (N=41), the average urinary frequency changed from 12.2 to 7.7 times a day and nocturia changed from 2.4 to 0.6 times a night. The symptom score improved from 15.22 to 4.69 and the overall satisfaction rate was 87.8% (41.5%: very satisfied, 46.3%: satisfied, 12.2%: no response). Female urethral syndrome is not due to a single factor but is a complex disease due to various combined symptoms and mechanisms. This condition needs to be treated with an appropriate treatment protocol. We believe that satisfactory results could be obtained in female urethral syndrome, which has shown poor prognosis until now, by appropriately combining treatment methods, which include the use of external sphincter relaxants, biofeedback therapy and bladder training, according to indication, and depending on whether symptoms continue after initial antibiotic therapy." @default.
