With new treatment options available for incontinence, women can now restore, and may improve, their active lifestyle.
Urinary incontinence affects over 13 million Americans, 85% of whom are women. While incontinence can be an aspect of aging, it can be curable. With so many medical advances today, multiple treatment options exist for patients, including surgical correction.
The loss of voluntary control over your urinary functions is called urinary incontinence. This guide has been developed to educate you about female stress urinary incontinence and to help you better understand your treatment options, including surgical remedies. Although there are several management and surgical options available, this patient guide focuses on the Trans-obturator and Suprapubic sling procedures, which are surgical treatment options for stress incontinence. Several different types of slings are available. Your doctor will be happy to discuss other options with you. Together, you can determine the best treatment options for your specific condition.
