Propiverine hydrochloride was given to patients with subjective symptoms of urinary incontinence and its effect was evaluated in relation to the pathogenesis of incontinence. High improvement rates were obtained in patients with stress incontinence as well as those with urge incontinence. There was no significant difference between the two patient groups in the degree of improvement of subjective symptoms or objective findings. Under the present circumstances, where urinary incontinence is often treated by medical doctors other than urologists, this drug may be useful for the treatment of urinary incontinence since it would produce high therapeutic effects irrespective of the pathogenesis of incontinence.
