Abstract: ObjectiveTo identify the relationship between urodynamic parameters and vaginal deliveries in women with genuine stress urinary incontinence(GSI).Methods56 women with vaginal delivery history who were diagnosed as stress urinary incontinence underwent urodynamic tests.Their abdominal leak point pressures(ALPP),maximum urethral closure pressure(MUCP) and functional urethral length(FUL) were recorded,and their Correlation to vaginal deliveries was tested using linear correlation coefficient.ResultsCorrelation between vaginal deliveries and ALPP showed a significant relationship(r=-0.349,P<0.05).Neither MUCP nor FUL showed a close relationship with vaginal deliveries(r=-0.219 and r=-0.178 respectively,P>0.05).ConclusionVaginal delivery plays an important role in the pathogenesis of GSI.The more vaginal deliveries,the more serious GSI.

Key words: female stress urinary incontinence, urodynamics, vaginal delivery
