摘要
The available data about the hypothesis that psychological conditions cause urinary incontinence are contradictory. This study was based on a group of patients undergoing urodynamic investigation to define the type of incontinence. Patients were submitted to a battery of psychological tests, including STAXI, CES-D and IBQ (in their Italian version). Patients suffering from urge incontinence showed higher degrees of inner anger and anger trait than those suffering from stress or mixed incontinence. Neither group showed signs of depression. The conviction of illness was greatest in patients suffering from stress or mixed incontinence, whereas irritability and general hypochondria prevailed in patients suffering from urge incontinence. Such patients tend to develop psychosomatic reactions that may contribute to the severity of their symptoms.
