Urinary incontinence is a condition that can occur in almost all women, but in some it is a condition that significantly impairs the quality of life.The type of incontinence, the frequency of incontinence, the age of the person and how much it affects their life are the deciding factors.
Types of urinary incontinence and treatment methods:
STRESS INCONTINENCE: It is called involuntary incontinence that occurs due to increased intra-abdominal pressure such as sneezing, coughing, laughing and physical activities. It usually occurs after vaginal delivery. It is caused by disruption of the bladder and urethra angle.
URGE INCONTINENCE: It is generally described as running to the toilet or incontinence at the toilet door. This type of incontinence occurs due to loss of collagen in tissues with age.
MIXED INCONTINENCE: It is a condition in which both types are seen together.
TREATMENT OF INCONTINENCE:
Treatment depends on which type is present:
Bladder training exercises with bladder diary.
Kegel exercises – pelvic floor strengthening tools – electric current seats
Local estrogen treatments
Laser applications
Prp – stem cell applications
Urethral fillers
Drugs that prevent bladder hypermotility
Surgical interventions known as TOT and TVT, in which a band is placed around the bladder neck.
As seen above, urinary incontinence is a condition with a wide range of diagnoses and treatments. The treatment here is completely individualized. In the correct diagnosis, ultrasound and urodynamic measurements should be performed properly and the treatment should be carefully selected.
