Adverse events associated with nonsurgical treatments for urinary incontinence in women: a systematic review.
Investigators systematically reviewed nonsurgical interventions for urgency, stress, or mixed urinary incontinence (UI) in women, focusing on adverse events (AEs). They found that behavioral therapies and neuromodulation have a low risk of adverse events, while anticholinergics and alpha agonists have high rates of dry mouth and constitutional effects. Further, onabotulinum toxin A (BTX) is associated with UTIs and voiding dysfunction, and periurethral bulking agents are associated with erosion and voiding dysfunction. They concluded that these AEs should be considered when selecting appropriate UI treatment options, noting that AE reporting is inconsistent and that AE rates across studies tended to vary widely.
