- Abstract
This article discusses the potential link between nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and urinary incontinence in patients with COVID-19. The authors suggest that COVID-19 may interact with these receptors, inhibiting the voluntary contraction of pelvic floor muscles and the external urethral sphincter through the pudendal nerve. They hypothesize that this interaction could contribute to urinary disorders in COVID-19 patients. The article provides references to support their claims and highlights the importance of considering urinary incontinence in the context of COVID-19.
