[Some cases of urinary incontinence associated with post-oral contraceptive amenorrhea]. / Su alcuni casi di incontinenza urinaria associati ad amenorrea post-contraccettiva orale.

PIP: 4 patients, amenorrheic for at least 4 months after suspension or oral contraception, were observed for urinary incontinence. 3 patients were treated with clomiphene alone, and 1 with clomiphene and human menopausal gonadotropin. After about 3 months of treatment all patients had ovulatory cycles, and the urinary incontinence disappeared. The physiopathology of the mechanism provoking hormonal urinary incontinence is still not clear, although it is possible that hypophyseal and ovarian modifications, caused by oral contraceptives, interfere with the proper functions of the versico-urethral sphincter.^ieng
