support to your urethra, preventing urine leakage during moments of stress. Recovery time is typically shorter compared to more traditional surgeries.
2. Colposuspension
Colposuspension is a procedure that involves lifting and supporting the neck of your bladder and the urethra. While effective, it is more invasive than midurethral sling surgery and may require a longer recovery period.
3. Bulking Agents
Injectable bulking agents can be used to thicken the tissues around your urethra, reducing the likelihood of urine leakage. This is a less invasive option, suitable for those looking for alternatives to traditional surgical procedures.
4. Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS)
For severe cases of SUI, an artificial urinary sphincter may be implanted. This device mimics the function of a natural sphincter, providing control over the release of urine. AUS surgery is more complex and involves a more extended recovery period.
