Incontinence & Slings for Women
ONE DAY YOU HAVE URINE LOSS. THE NEXT DAY YOU DON’T…..
Fifty percent of women of all ages experience urinary incontinence at some point in their lives. It is twice as common in women as in men.
If that comes as a surprise, it's probably because urinary incontinence (the sudden, unintentional release of urine) is one of those things that no one finds particularly easy to talk about. It can be a nuisance. It can be embarrassing. It can be uncomfortable. And sometimes, it is much more…. urinary incontinence can limit your life so that you end up restricting or avoiding physical activity, travel or social relationships.
Trans-obturator tape or “Sling surgery” can be an effective and relatively noninvasive treatment for stress incontinence. A recent study reported a cure rate between 85% and 87%, with an additional 4.5% to 7% of participants reporting improvement in symptoms.
The good news is…you have options. As urologists Dr. Elizabeth Houser, Dr. Melody Denson and Dr. Elizabeth Rutledge collectively have 60+ years experience in meeting the needs of women and incontinence issues. They are available to identify treatment options that can help you gain control over this condition and improve the quality of your life.
