Narrowing the urethra to stop uncontrolled urine outflow
Urinary incontinence doesn’t have to be your concern anymore. Thanks to a modern approach and modern methods of work, the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic has a solution to your problems.
Urinary incontinence is one of those occurrences that you would rather stay within your own four walls. This disorder is characterized by the inability to retain urine, and the discomfort it can cause often results in withdrawal into oneself and the avoidance of any social interactions.
Research indicates that as many as 50% of adults have some type of urinary incontinence , which is worrying if we take into account that such people are more prone to developing depression, anxiety and other mental problems.
That said, urinary incontinence doesn’t have to be your concern anymore. Thanks to a modern approach and modern methods of work, the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic has a solution to your problems.
Urinary incontinence is treated in many ways, and one of the most effective ways is to use filling agents, i.e. Telugu that narrow your urethra and thus reduce the possibility of uncontrolled urine leakage.
We decide to treat incontinence with fillers if you suffer from stress incontinence. This form of incontinence occurs when straining the abdominal muscles during activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing or some other type of physical exertion.
The mechanisms by which stress incontinence is described include excessive mobility of the urethra and damage to the sphincter.
Increased urethral mobility is thought to result from insufficient support of the pelvic floor muscles and vaginal connective tissue under the urethra and bladder neck. The urethra and neck of the bladder lose the ability to fully contract, and an increase in abdominal pressure when sneezing, coughing or laughing leads to uncontrolled outflow of urine.
It should be noted that the doctor will further assess whether fillers are an appropriate solution for the treatment of urinary incontinence.
If you suffer, for example, from urge incontinence, filler therapy will not be the optimal solution.
In urge incontinence, the problem is in the functioning of the bladder, not in the function of the urethra. Therefore, a different approach is needed and the choice of other methods of incontinence treatment.
Upon arrival at the polyclinic, our staff will direct you to the office. Once you enter the room and are comfortable, the urologist will inject local anesthesia around the urethral area.
Once the anesthesia starts to work, our gynecology and urology specialists will perform several punctures in the area around the urethra below the bladder neck. The punctures are made with a specially designed injection and a cystoscope.
The introduction of fillers thickens the tissue around the urethra, which prevents uncontrolled urine outflow. The procedure is minimally invasive, which means that no incisions or stitches are required after the procedure.
After the procedure, there is a possibility that you will stay in the clinic until the next urination so that the doctor can check the functioning of your bladder and urethra.
Due to the swelling caused during the procedure, it is not uncommon for you to feel mild difficulties when urinating. In case of more severe swelling, a catheter can be implanted, which is removed once the tissue around the urethra area has subsided.
Due to puncture wounds, a slight amount of blood in the urine is normal, which disappears by the end of the day. If you notice bleeding 2-3 days after the procedure, be sure to contact us so that we can stop the bleeding as soon as possible and prevent possible complications.
Treatment of incontinence with fillers has been shown to be effective in 60-70% of women. However, as many as one third experience the same symptoms again over time, and in such cases it is necessary to go for additional treatment that will prevent further development of urinary incontinence.
Although in most cases the procedure passes without difficulties and subsequent complications, there is a possibility of developing the following side effects:
There are 4 main types of urinary incontinence:
Each of these types requires a special approach and application of those methods that bring the best results.
At the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic, we treat urinary incontinence in different ways, and depending on the frequency and degree of urine outflow, we decide on the following treatment methods:
A non-invasive approach is generally considered to be the initial form of treatment for urinary incontinence.
This approach includes methods that do not require surgery: lifestyle changes, exercising the pelvic and bladder muscles.
It is not uncommon for us to sometimes opt for botulinum toxin therapy, and we can also prescribe special medications that will reduce episodes of urinary incontinence.
This incontinence treatment technique is considered very sophisticated and practical. By using radiofrequency technology , the procedure is minimally invasive and painless, and the results can be noticed immediately after the procedure.
Heating seeks to restore the original shape of the vaginal tissue, the tightness of which will no longer allow urine to pass through.
If you have moderate to severe stress incontinence, surgery is often more effective than other types of therapy.
We are aware of how unpleasant outcomes urinary incontinence can cause, so it is not surprising that most women are ashamed of incontinence and do everything to avoid talking about this topic.
We could agree that urinary incontinence is a taboo topic today, and this is supported by a small number of people who have sought professional help.
Namely, it is estimated that only one third of women with symptoms decided to contact a family doctor or some other specialist in the field of urology and gynecology.
At the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic, we are doing everything we can to change these statistics. We have an open and honest conversation with you and, in addition to the necessary treatment, we also provide you with the mental support that you have been missing in the fight against urinary incontinence.
Before arranging any examinations and therapies, we conduct consultations where you will tell us first-hand what exactly is bothering you, and it is up to us to provide you with the optimal solution to remove urinary incontinence once and for all.
