Abstract

Objective: To describe the results of patients with overactive bladder managed by means of vaginal electrostimulation. Material and Methods: A descriptive study was carried out using as a basisinformation on the file of all patients treated for overactive bladderwith vaginal electrostimulation, from the period from January of 2014 to January of 2019. The therapy consisted on the application of vaginal electrostimulation for 12 30 minutes sessions. A decrease in urination frequency was determined (7.67 vs 647, p=0.001),in urinary urgency (2.07 vs 1.53, p= 0.001)and in nocturia (1.6 vs 1.02 p= 0.001). The multivariate analysis allowed us to observethat in the case of nocturia, the history of previous pelvic surgery and diseasehad a positive interaction (Previous pelvic surgery, 9.07 p=0.008and Chronic disease, 5.54 P=0.047). Discussion: The use of electrostimulation for the treatment of overactive bladder in women presents favorable results, but we must consider the history of previous surgery and comorbidities of the patients in their management.
