<h2>Your Score Values Are:</h2> <p><strong>Urge Score: ###total1### Points</strong><strong>Stress Score: ###total2### Points</strong></p> <hr /> <h3>For Low Scores (both values 0-6):</h3> <p>With a test result in the range of 0-6 points, there are no significant signs of urinary incontinence visible. However, if you still notice symptoms, we recommend scheduling a clarification appointment with our urologists. Preventive measures such as targeted pelvic floor training can be helpful in the long term.</p> <h3>For Urge Incontinence (Urge Score 13-26, Stress Score 0-6):</h3> <p>A test result with an Urge Score of 13-26 and a Stress Score of 0-6 indicates a high probability of urge incontinence (motor overactive bladder). The level of your score provides an indication of the severity of the incontinence. Medication therapy may be indicated. In addition to medication, depending on the severity, surgical therapy may also be considered, such as the injection of botulinum toxin into the bladder or the implantation of a "bladder pacemaker." We strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a urologist for individual treatment planning.</p> <h3>For Stress Incontinence (Urge Score 0-6, Stress Score 13-26):</h3> <p>A test result with an Urge Score of 0-6 and a Stress Score of 13-26 indicates a high probability of stress incontinence (urethral insufficiency). In 81.5% of stress incontinence cases, the diagnosis falls into categories UI1 or UI2, which indicates a form that is often successfully treatable. The level of the score provides an indication of the severity of the incontinence. Treatment options include conservative approaches such as pelvic floor training and, if sufficiently indicated, surgical procedures. Scheduling a consultation with a urologist is necessary to choose the best therapy for your situation.</p> <h3>For Mixed Forms (both scores medium to high):</h3> <p>Urge Score: ###total1### | Stress Score: ###total2### Result: Mixed Incontinence Form These test results show signs of a mixed incontinence form. With this combined symptomatology, both components must be considered. Medication therapy may be indicated and can be supplemented by additional measures depending on the exact manifestation. Specialized urological consultation is important to properly differentiate the components of the various types of incontinence and to develop an individual treatment plan.</p> <hr /> <div class="frame frame-default frame-type-shortcut frame-layout-0 frame-size-max " id="c2626"><div class="frame frame-default frame-type-textpic frame-layout-0 " id="c1960"><header class=""><h2 class="header-2 ">Do You Have a Noticeable Result or Persistent Complaints?</h2></header></div></div> <p><strong>The present test results with Urge Score ###total1### and Stress Score ###total2### offer you an initial orientation.

Urodynamics

Urodynamics examines the function of the bladder and urethra through pressure and flow measurements to diagnose disorders such as incontinence or voiding problems.

Frequent urination

Frequent urge to urinate (pollakisuria) can significantly impair quality of life and indicate bladder dysfunction or other conditions.
