简要总结

The investigators goal is to develop medical treatments for stress/mixed urinary incontinence. Sildenafil has been shown to improve blood flow as well as muscle mass and strength and to decrease muscle fatigue. The investigators believe that it will improve muscular atrophy in the pelvic floor, thus improving symptoms of urinary incontinence related to pelvic floor dysfunction.

详细描述

Aim: To determine the effect of sildenafil on urinary incontinence.

  1. Episodes of urinary incontinence will be recorded using a 3 day bladder diary.
  2. Quantitative assessment of urinary incontinence will be performed at baseline and after treatment using a Pad Test.
  3. Muscle strength will be assessed through use of a perineometer.
  4. To evaluate macrocirculatory blood flow in pelvic organs, women will be assessed with noninvasive imaging before and after randomization to sildenafil.
  5. Secondary outcomes will include evaluation of muscle and vaginal mucosal thickness.

  • Systolic blood pressure <100 or >150, diastolic blood pressure <60 or >90 after repeated evaluation with proper cuff. This range is smaller than the acceptable range stated in the prescribing information for sildenafil (>90/50 and <170/110)

  • Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would place the subject at increased risk for participation.
  • Known allergic reaction to any agent under investigation or required by the protocol.
