Urinary incontinence in women

Urinary incontinence in women is a common condition that reduces quality of life and may be caused by pelvic floor muscle weakness, hormonal changes, or neurological disorders. Modern treatment methods allow effective restoration of bladder control.

When is treatment for urinary incontinence required?

• In cases of urine leakage during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or physical exertion.
• With sudden and intense urges to urinate accompanied by inability to retain urine.
• If frequent urges occur even with minimal bladder filling.
• In cases of nocturnal urinary incontinence or frequent nighttime urination.
• If the condition interferes with social activity and reduces quality of life.

Methods of treatment for urinary incontinence

Conservative treatment:

• Therapeutic physical exercises (Kegel method) to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
• Physiotherapy – electrical stimulation, biofeedback, laser therapy.
• Drug therapy – medications to improve bladder control.

Injection methods:

• Injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the bladder wall to reduce detrusor overactivity.
• Injection of bulking agents into the urethra to provide additional support.

Surgical treatment:

• Sling procedures (TVT, TOT) – placement of a supportive sling beneath the urethra.
• Burch colposuspension – fixation of the urethra to the pelvic ligaments in stress urinary incontinence.
• Implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter – for severe forms of incontinence.
