Clinical and anatomical aspects of the structure of the vesicourethral segment in women

Currently, one of the important and understudied issues in urogynecology is the problem of stress urinary incontinence in women of childbearing age. In the USA, more than 15 million people suffer from urinary incontinence, a disease more common than diabetes mellitus (Neil M., 1999). In the Russian Federation, symptoms of urinary incontinence have been identified in 38.6% of women (I.V. Ryapolova, L.Y. Litvinenko, 1998).
