    Abstract

    High-level competition sports can have a variety of negative effects on the female urogenital apparatus. Perineal trauma is rare and is usually associated with certain sports (impalement or hydrotubation during water-skiing, indurated perineal nodules in racing cyclists, and horse-riders' perineum). Effort incontinence is seen in all sports involving abrupt repeated increases in intra-abdominal pressure that may exceed perineal floor resistance. Sportswomen should be questioned about possible incontinence and be informed of preventive and therapeutic measures.
