Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is the inability to control one's bladder that causes an involuntary flow of urine.
It can occur at any age, but its incidence increases particularly among middle-aged and older women due to factors such as childbirth,
aging, decreased female hormones, weakening of the pelvic floor muscles,
and reduced support of the bladder, urethra, and sphincter.
Symptoms of Urinary Incontinence
Dribbling urine after coughing or sneezing
Urine leakage during intercourse
Urinate about 8 times a day
Waking up to urinate three or more times during the night
Dribbling urine after standing up and heavy lifting
Painful urination
Treatment for urinary incontinence
Non-surgical treatment
Surgical treatment
Procedures such as laser therapy and vaginal fillers help restore vaginal elasticity and strengthen the muscles around the bladder.
Mini-sling surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed through a vaginal incision without any skin incision. The resulting scar remains inside the vagina, making it nearly invisible externally, and the procedure causes minimal pain, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.
Mini-Sling Surgical Technique
The mini-sling is an advanced surgical technique for treating urinary incontinence.
It effectively corrects the sagging position of the urethra using a special biocompatible tape,
without the need for skin incisions.
As there is no perineal incision, the procedure involves less discomfort and carries
a lower risk of complications such as infection or inflammation.
With a short operation time of approximately 10 to 15 minutes,
the mini-sling surgery offers the benefit of rapid recovery.
