Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: Nineteen menopausal patients with stress urinary incontinence were selected and submitted to anamnesis and physical, gynecological and urodynamic examinations. The group was homogeneous in relation to parity, body mass index and degree of urogenital prolapse. All the patients received conjugated equine estrogens orally, at a dose of 0.625 mg, for 21 days each month. After three months the clinical and urodynamic evaluations in relation to urine loss, were performed again. RESULTS: Of the patients 57.9% were satisfied with the treatment. The urodynamic parameters remained unaltered in 36.85% of the patients. CONCLUSION:
