Name:
Sarah Jenkins
48 years old
Chief Complaint:
Stress urinary incontinence and pelvic pressure.
History of Present Illness:
Mrs. Jenkins presents with a 2-year history of stress urinary incontinence, experiencing leakage with coughing, sneezing, and light exercise. The leakage has become more frequent and bothersome in the last 6 months, requiring her to wear pads daily. She also reports a sensation of pelvic pressure, which she describes as a 'heaviness' in her lower abdomen, particularly towards the end of the day. She denies any dysuria, haematuria, or fevers. She has tried pelvic floor exercises intermittently with minimal relief and has not consulted a doctor for this specific issue until now.
Menstrual History:
Regular cycles, 28 days, lasting 5 days, moderate flow. Last menstrual period: 10 October 2024. Menarche at age 13. Perimenopausal symptoms noted, but not on HRT.
Obstetric History:
G3P2 (2 vaginal deliveries, 1 miscarriage at 10 weeks gestation). Live children: 2. Deliveries were uncomplicated, heaviest baby 8lb 2oz.
Gynaecological History:
No previous gynaecological conditions. Contraceptive history: combined oral contraceptive pills for 15 years, then condoms. Sexually active with one partner.
Past Medical History:
Hypertension, well-controlled with medication. No other significant medical conditions or hospitalisations.
Family History:
Mother diagnosed with breast cancer at age 62. Paternal grandmother had ovarian cancer at age 70. No other relevant family history.
Past Surgical History:
Appendicectomy at age 16.
Medications:
Amlodipine 5mg once daily.
Allergies:
Penicillin (rash).
Physical Examination:
General appearance: well-nourished, no acute distress. Vital signs: BP 130/80 mmHg, HR 72 bpm. Abdominal examination: soft, non-tender, no masses. Pelvic examination: external genitalia normal, good perineal integrity, mild prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall (Grade 1 cystocele) on Valsalva. Good vaginal rugae. Uterus anteverted, mobile, non-tender. Adnexa not palpable. Stress urinary incontinence observed with cough during examination. Pelvic floor muscles have fair tone, Oxford Grade 3.
BMI: 28.5 kg/m²
Assessment:
* Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) - likely due to pelvic floor laxity and previous vaginal deliveries.
* Grade 1 Cystocele - contributing to pelvic pressure sensation.
* Perimenopausal status - may be contributing to tissue changes.
Plan:
Investigations:
* Urodynamic studies to confirm SUI and assess bladder function.
* Urinalysis to rule out infection.
* Pelvic ultrasound to assess uterus and ovaries.
Management:
* Referral to pelvic floor physiotherapist for intensive pelvic floor muscle training.
* Discussion of pessary options for SUI and prolapse support.
* Consideration of surgical options (e.g., mid-urethral sling) if conservative measures fail.
Follow-up:
* Review in 6 weeks to discuss investigation results and progress with physiotherapy.
* Patient provided with educational material on SUI and pelvic floor exercises.
