Answer to Question 1

B
When surgical measures do not solve the problem, incontinence may be managed by a variety of measures, including intermittent catheterization, indwelling urethral catheterization, suprapubic catheters, external collection systems (such as condom catheters), protective pads and garments, or pelvic organ support devices such as a pessary. The pessary may be useful in managing this patient's stress incontinence. The patient should utilize protective pads and garments. An in-dwelling catheter may or may not be necessary for this patient. There is no indication that the patient will require another surgery, especially since the previous two surgeries have not elimi-nated episodes on incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

A
Using estrogen cream as a lubricant for sexual intercourse is discouraged as the cream may damage latex condoms and require a backup method of contraception. Estrogen cream will not exacerbate hot flashes. Estrogen cream is used to increase vaginal tissue elasticity. While the partner can absorb estrogen from estrogen cream for sexual intercourse, contact dermatitis is not likely.
