Enhancing Quality of Life by Controlling Urinary Incontinence
Have you tried multiple medications for incontinence without much success? Do you still leak when coughing or laughing? Are your incontinence symptoms keeping you from activities you used to enjoy?
If so, you're not alone. In fact, up to 40 percent of women experience bladder control issues – although embarrassment often keeps them from talking about this problem. As women live longer and stay more active, bladder control problems tend to interfere with quality of life. They are unable to participate in activities and must always make sure a bathroom is nearby.
However, women do not have to continue to live this way.
Urinary incontinence is dripping, or leaking urine. If you have leakage with coughing, laughing, exercising or walking, then most commonly you suffer from stress incontinence. If you start dripping before reaching the bathroom, then the problem is most likely urge incontinence.
URINARY LEAKAGE HAPPENS IF THE URTHRA CANNOT REMAIN CLOSED
Safe and effective treatment options are available, including monitoring of fluid and caffeine intake and practicing pelvic floor (Kegel's) exercises.
The insertion of a minimally invasive bladder sling is a popular, safe and effective surgical procedure that can be performed to treat stress incontinence. It is a 20-minute, outpatient procedure and is up to 90 percent successful in improving stress incontinence so women can return to normal activities quickly. The sling is placed through the vagina through a very tiny incision and acts as a hammock to support the bladder outlet otherwise referred to as urethra.
BENEFITS OF A SLING:
It is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that takes 15-20 minutesto perform.
Recovery is quick and patients are back to normal activities in a few days.
Results are usually immediate, and the procedure has a good track record of safety and durability.
