Laser treatment for urinary incontinence

What is Laser Treatment for Urinary Incontinence

Your life has changed a lot. Exercising, laughing, coughing or sneezing are common activities that you perceived in a very different way. After all, now they can cause an unpleasant symptom - urine leakage. You are ashamed of your problem and are trying to solve it with urological pads. But in this way you do not eliminate the problem, but only hide its manifestations.
Stress urinary incontinence is a common syndrome that affects more than 40% of women over 40.
Previously, the most effective treatment for female urinary incontinence was surgery, but laser technology eliminated the need for women to undergo surgery.
Involuntary leakage of urine (from a few drops to a full stream) is always associated with insufficiency of the sphincter, bladder and urethra. When the pelvic floor and urogenital diaphragm are damaged, the walls of the vagina are displaced, the position of the bladder and uterus changes, which is the reason for the development of pathology.

How is laser incontinence treatment done?

With the use of laser technology, the procedure for laser treatment of urinary incontinence has become possible in Ukraine. The essence of the procedure is that as a result of exposure, the anterior wall of the vagina, as well as the walls and sphincter of the bladder, contract.

When carrying out the procedure using laser equipment, discomfort is usually absent. The patient feels a slight burning sensation and tingling sensation in the treatment areas. The duration of one session is 10-15 minutes. The duration of the course of treatment is determined on an individual basis. As a rule, these are 2-3 procedures with an interval of 15-30 days.
During the examination, the doctor prescribes mandatory tests (cytology (PAP test), general clinical urine analysis, morphological analysis). The gynecologist conducts a comprehensive examination to rule out contraindications.
