Surgery (e.g., Mid-urethral Sling Procedures)

Surgery, such as Mid-urethral Sling procedures, is a treatment for stress urinary incontinence, where the muscles that support the bladder and urethra weaken. The surgeon inserts a small, flexible sling made of mesh tissue beneath the urethra through a tiny incision. This sling provides additional support, helping to keep urine in when coughing, sneezing, or exercising. The procedure is minimally invasive, often performed outpatient, with quick recovery. It effectively reduces leakage and improves quality of life for many women suffering from urinary leakage due to weakened pelvic support.
