Overview
Historical Perspective
- urinary incontinence was first described by ancient Egyptians in 1500 BC that resulted from spinal cord injury. [1]
- Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) described the internal sphincter at the neck of the bladder in his drawings.[2]
- In 1564, several portable urinals was developed by Ambros Pare to treat urinary incontinence in males. [3]
- In the 1600s, the condom catheter with pig bladder was first designed by Wilhem Hildanus. [3]
- In 1747, a perineal bulbar urethral compression belt was first innovated by Lorenz Heister. [1]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In the 17-19th centuries, some natural medications with anticholinergic and antidiuretic effects including opium, strychnine, and atropine were introduced as a therapeutic strategy for urge incontinence. [1]
- In 1858, carbonic acid with chloroform was used by J.Rhodes to treat nocturnal incontinence in an old man. [4]
