Understanding Stress Urinary Incontinence: Causes and Characteristics
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) involves involuntary urine loss triggered by physical exertion or bodily movements including coughing, laughing, running, jumping jacks, or simply transitioning to standing.
SUI differs distinctly from leakage occurring when urgent bathroom needs arise and reaching facilities becomes challenging before some urine escapes. This alternative condition is classified as overactive bladder, urinary urgency, or urge urinary incontinence. If experiencing this pattern, explore our targeted treatment options.
Both SUI and overactive bladder symptoms can coexist simultaneously, creating what medical professionals term mixed stress and urge urinary incontinence.
Treatment for SUI
Comprehensive assessment and therapeutic intervention with certified pelvic floor physical therapists to master targeted strengthening techniques for pelvic musculature.
Modern Urology’s physicians have carefully selected highly trained and credentialed pelvic floor rehabilitation specialists, collaborating closely with these therapeutic professionals to optimize patient outcomes and recovery.
Vaginal estrogen demonstrates exceptional safety profiles, exhibits minimal systemic absorption into the bloodstream, and effectively restores compromised thin vaginal tissue to optimal health.
Robust vaginal tissue serves as a critical foundation for addressing numerous female urinary disorders, particularly genitourinary syndrome of menopause.
Applying 1-2 pea-sized portions of vaginal estrogen to the urethral area and vaginal canal can safely enhance urethral tissue integrity, resulting in improved watertight urethral closure to diminish urine leakage.
Modern Urology’s physicians thoroughly address questions and concerns regarding topical vaginal estrogen, ensuring patients feel confident using this highly safe therapeutic cream.
Injectable bulking agents can be strategically placed around the urethral tissue to enhance water-tight urethral closure. This efficient procedure is performed in the operating room and delivers immediate results.
Urethral bulking requires periodic maintenance treatments to sustain its therapeutic benefits, with time intervals between repeat procedures varying individually.
An outpatient surgical intervention involving placement of a supportive mesh hammock around the urethra to provide structural support. By stabilizing a “loose” urethra, urinary leakage stops.
Retropubic slings differ fundamentally from vaginal mesh. Retropubic slings have never been recalled by the FDA and remain safe when surgery is performed by specialists with substantial experience. Modern Urology’s physicians possess extensive experience in retropubic midurethral sling placement.
Dr. Fronczak’s success rate is exceptional for treating SUI with midurethral slings, attributable to her precise and meticulous technique for proper mesh placement and complication prevention.
