Urinary Stress Incontinence New York City

Urinary Stress Incontinence often happens to women over 40 and particularly women who’ve had multiple vaginal deliveries. It occurs mostly due to childbirth injuries which may have gone undiscovered and causes the bladder and urethra to loose some of its much needed support. Thus, the sphincter muscles surrounding the urethra aren’t able to clamp the urethra shut and operate as it should. Women with Urinary Stress Incontinence may experience an involuntary loss of urine upon laughing, sneezing, coughing, orgasm, or even just changing positions.

There area few procedure techniques available to correct this issue, chief among them is using a bit of mesh to provide support where the urethra joins the bladder. Other options include using elevating sutures or inserting a tiny, vinyl sling just under the urethra. It may take several weeks to completely heal and see the improved effects of the procedure, but most women are able to resume normal day-to-day activities after just two days and sex after about 30 days.
