Doctor's answer:

Careful examination is necessary for diagnosing female stress urinary incontinence, without urinary obstruction or unstable bladder, and health checks can confirm inflammation of the urethra. In such cases, a comprehensive and thorough examination is not required before undergoing anti-urinary and anti-defecation surgery. However, for those with urinary incontinence onset, coexisting urinary obstruction, potential unstable bladder or neurogenic bladder, or when the anatomical factors causing urinary and defecation issues cannot be confirmed, a comprehensive and thorough examination is necessary. A comprehensive evaluation combining the functional and morphological aspects of the bladder, urethra, and their related nerve control can help in making speculative and treatment recommendations.
