Stress Urinary Incontinence Surgery

Stress urinary incontinence surgery is a medical procedure designed to treat a condition where individuals unintentionally leak urine during activities that put pressure on the bladder, like coughing, sneezing, or exercise. The surgery aims to support the bladder and urethra, restoring their normal function. Common techniques include placing a sling under the urethra or using a device to lift and support it. This surgery can significantly improve quality of life for those affected, as it reduces or eliminates leakage episodes, allowing individuals to engage more confidently in daily activities without fear of accidents.
