16 Treatment of Post-Prostatic Surgery Stress Urinary Incontinence

The direct costs associated with urinary incontinence is related to aspects such as diagnostic tests, doctor visits, surgery, use of diapers, and others. Among the indirect costs can include the time available for patients and friends to care of incontinent patients, and the loss of productivity for the individual hours away at work. The worsening quality of life of the patient is considered an intangible cost, difficult to measure in monetary terms, but which constitutes an integral aspect of urinary incontinence.
