Hi all,
how would you translate "incontinenza uterina" into English. The sentence is the following: "...una gravidanza gemellare interrottasi alla 22° settimana cn parto spontaneo a causa di *incontinenza uterina*..."
I've tried with uterine incontinence, but I couldn't find any exact matching when I googled it.
I have found a lot of "uterine prolapse" but literally the two expressions do not have the same meaning... prolapse and incontinence are two different concepts...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Anna

: this certainly exists, but what you need are Italian refs to explain what "incontinenza uterina" means/but you've misunderstood the Italian - obstetrics obviously not your forte

No I don't. I need English references to back up my answer as it's the target language.

: SJLD is right. You've simply proved that the phrase exists in English, not that it has anything to do with the Italian.

Glenda Janssen
: It's not obligatory to have Italian and English references, but in this case even the asker had said that she found many instances of "uterine prolapse" and did not think it was the same thing. Hence, you would have needed to prove why you thought it WAS.

Discussion
I think that uterus/uterine incontinence and urinary incontinence are not the same.
In the first case, it is the cause of the loss of a foetus.
Thanks again! I'll wait for more opinions!
